Deal Breaker - (Myron Bolitar) by Harlan Coben (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The debut of Myron Bolitar, a hotheaded, tenderhearted sports agent and one of the most fascinating and complex heroes in suspense fiction--a page-turning classic from Edgar Award-winner and master storyteller Harlan Coben.

"One of the most engaging heroes in mystery fiction."--Dennis Lehane

Sports agent Myron Bolitar is poised on the edge of the big time. So is Christian Steele, a rookie quarterback and Myron's prized client. But when Christian gets a phone call from a former girlfriend--a woman who everyone, including the police, believes is dead--the deal starts to go sour. Trying to unravel the truth about a family's tragedy, a woman's secret, and a man's lies, Myron is up against the dark side of his business--where image and talent make you rich, but the truth can get you killed.

"What sets Harlan Coben above the crowd are wit and wicked nonchalance."--Los Angeles Times
