Introduce yourself to Myron, sports agent/private eye and his best friend Win who is sort of morally reprehensible but completely loyal on a level you wish you knew. I love Win!

Harlan Coben is one of my favorite mystery authors. I haven't read a book of his yet, that I didn't love. Highly recommended. (

Myron Bolitar , Book 1

MontanaMick | Jun 30, 2024 |

A mystery novel. Seemed very much like a "man's" book. The main character was a jock, a sports agent, a lawyer, and a detective. He just seemed unbelievable. The characters didn't seem very well developed and the plot was the main point of the story. It wasn't bad but not one I would ever recommend to a friend or a book I couldn't put down. (
