“Another winner . . . Pungent observations, indelibly drawn characters and a twisting, surprise-laden plot.”—Atlanta Journal and ConstitutionKidnappers have snatched the teenage son of super-star golfer Linda Coldren and her husband, Jack, an aging pro, at the height of the U.S. Open. To help get the boy back, sports agent Myron Bolitar goes charging after clues and suspects from the Main Line mansions to a downtown cheaters’ motel—and back in time to a U.S. Open twenty-three years ago, when Jack Coldren should have won, but didn't. Suddenly Myron finds him self surrounded by blue bloods, criminals, and liars. And as one family's darkest secrets explode into murder, Myron finds out just how rough this game can get.In novels that crackle with wit and suspense, Edgar Award winner Harlan Coben has created one of the most fascinating and complex heroes in suspense fiction—Myron Bolitar—a hotheaded, tenderhearted sports agent who grows more and more engaging and unpredictable with each page-turning appearance.“Sharp plotting and emotional density, as well as nonstop wisecracks.”—Publishers Weekly

"Best when you listen to it as an audiobook. The narrator does an awesome job. Great voice. So much dry wit. "

"I think this was my first Myron book. I didn't really like it as well as I liked my first Coben book, <u>Tell No One</u> (which I love). It wasn't that the storyline was bad or anything, it was just as good as his other ones...It just wasn't my favorite. I don't know why, exactly. I definitely still recommend it, though. I just think some of his other works are better."
