Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Brenda Slaughter, the star player of the Women's Professional Basketball Association, is getting threatening phone calls. Norm Zuckerman, owner of the league, convinces sports agent Myron Bolitar to protect Brenda by promising to deliver her as Myron's next big client. Brenda, who claims she doesn't need protection, enlists Myron to find her missing father--the assumed source of the phone calls and Myron's childhood mentor. It looks like a simple family dispute--overprotective father goes off the deep end when daughter decides to go her own way--until Horace Slaughter shows up dead and the police name Brenda as the primary suspect. What unfolds is a 20-year-old scandal, a series of disturbing family secrets, and an unexpected, if not entirely believable, ending. One False Move leads the reader through the dirty underbelly of the sports world. It has a little bit of everything: all-star athletes, dirty cops, corrupt politicians, and hired killers. It's a whirlwind of a story that Coben pulls off seamlessly with quirky but realistic characters and pages full of great one-liners. One False Move is a compelling thriller that no mystery fan should miss. --Mara Friedman --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

THE INDEPENDENT

'Tim Machin doesn't so much read as inhabit ONE FALSE MOVE. Coben's weary realism is chilling but his language sparkles.'

4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth reading!, 5 July 2004
This review is from: One False Move (Hardcover)
What I love about this author is the fact that his books are so fast-paced and to the point. Myron is a loveable, funny character and never fails to make the reader smile in his witty comebacks. The ending of each chapter leaves you in suspense as you know there is a new twist just around the corner!

I read this book in two sittings, and although the plot got a little confusing toward the end, it was a decent storyline and one which you could never have guessed (as you undoubtedly can with some thrillers), and hence kept you reading. I recommend this book if you enjoyed Coben's other titles, although I agree with reviewer "jongeo" it can also be read with out having read his previous thrillers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Harlan does it again, 2 Aug 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: One False Move (Paperback)
Well, what can i say? He's done it again. Harlan has written a fantastic novel, full of surprise and witty dialogue. It picks up where number 4 in the series left off. This time he has to look after a women - Brenda Slaughter but then her father disappears.

Well i cant go into much detail as i will disturb the plot. But wow - Coben has done it again.

A typical Myron Bolitar novel - with more twists, turns than a rollercoaster - looking for a crime - thriller then this is the book for you. This is book 5 in the series - so if you havent brought any of the first four Myron Bolitar novels then i would suggest you buy those first and then come on to this - 10 outta 10.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wecome back Myron.., 12 Jan 2004
By N. Brett (Wiltshire, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: One False Move (Hardcover)
This is another in the Myron Bolitar series and while it is more of the same it is to the same high standard of all of Cobin's writing.
If you know the style and the characters, this is like meeting up with old friends. The storyline is hardly new as Myron gets caught up in a murder mystery while juggling the requirements of running a sports agency. The clever twists are still there as is the easy and witty writing style.
Over the last year or so many of us have 'discovered' Harlan Cobin and he deserves his growing readership. There are some that suggest that he needs to come up with a little different, but his books are fast paced and fun to read and that's what it is all about, isn't it?
