Product Description

Product Description

Myron Bolitar once had a promising career as a sportsman, until an accident forced him to quit. After a spell in the FBI he now runs his own business. Then Myron is approached to find Greg Downing. He knows Greg from old - they were once rivals, not just in sport, but for a woman they both loved. Now Greg has vanished, and the team boss wants Myron to find him, before news of his disappearance is leaked to the press. In Greg's house Myron finds blood in the basement - lots of it. And when he discovers the body of a woman, he begins to unravel the strange, violent world of a national hero gone wrong, as he comes face-to-face with a past he can't re-live, and a present he may not survive. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great mystery featuring Myron Bolitar, 20 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Fade Away (Paperback)
When Myron Bolitar, a sports rep and one time first round draft to the NBA, is signed on by the New Jersey Dragons it isn't so that he can make a comeback. In fact, Bolitar has been signed to track down his team mate and former arch-rival Greg Downing. What he doesn't know when he accepts the job is that far from being a simple missing persons case, this becomes a murder hunt. But, who is the victim, who killed her, what is their motive and, why is someone attempting to blackmail not only Greg, and the team but also Myron himself?

Full of twists and turns the third book in Harlan Coben's Myron Bolitar series is also full of the usual witty dialogue. Although Myron is of course the protagonist in this story numerous appearances are made by other familiar characters, Jessica, Esperanza, Big Cyndi, Myron's parents and of course Win, and it's great to follow what's going on with them. Don't think that you have to have read the earlier Bolitar books to get into this though, it's a great stand alone novel but once you've read it I wouldn't be surprised if you wanted to read the rest.

I initially bought this book to pass time on a train journey but still found myself reading it that evening long after I was home and I finished it the following day. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good mystery novel. If you're new to Coben I'd say read these great books and then don't miss his great thriller Tell No One.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised, 17 Jan 2006
By Stan Petrov 19 (EDINBURGH, Midlothian United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fade Away (Paperback)
Having not been very impressed with the previous "Myron Bolitar" novel I read, I wasnt sure if buying another one was going to be a good move.

Fortunately my fears were unfounded as this was a cracking read as Myron goes undercover in a basketball team to find a missing player.

Still not as good as his non Bolitar books but still highly recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Bolitar book yet?, 23 July 2001
This review is from: Fade Away (Paperback)
I have now read 4 of the Myron Bolitar series of books and I rate this one as the best. The story keeps you guessing until the last few pages and then - POW - a different twist and turn in every paragraph! Very clever story - I would recommend it to anyone...
