A former pro-basketball star and Harvard Law School grad, he now runs his own sports agency, and also dabbles in the private investigation business. He is helped (and sometimes hindered) by his rich, blond, preppy friend Windsor Horne Lockwood III. Win has some awesome lethal powers hidden under his Brooks Brothers suits! In The Final Detail Win and Myron are looking into the murder of a client--a troubled New York Yankees baseball player called Clu Haid. Clu was apparently shot to death by Esperanza Diaz, who just happens to be Myron's best friend and partner in the sport's agency. Esperanza is hiding something, but Myron isn't sure if it has to do with her job, or with her private life. His search for the truth takes him back to a shabby incident from his own past, and to times he would rather forget. Author Harlan Coben casually drops in dozens of poignant moments of humanity that keep us--and Myron--firmly grounded in reality. Other books in this excellent series include Backspin, Deal Breaker, Drop Shot, and One False Move. --Dick Adler Product Description: His heart is broken. His partner is in jail. And someone is trying to kill him. Then Myron Bolitar gets some really bad news.... For sports agent Myron Bolitar, it seemed like the perfect vacation. A tropical beach. A warm breeze. A little uncomplicated passion with a woman he barely knows. Myron is almost in heaven when his friend Win shows up with a message that blasts him back to reality: Esperanza is in trouble. It's time to come home. Now Myron is back in New York, determined to help Esperanza, his best friend and partner, who's been accused of killing one of their clients. But Esperanza isn't talking. Neither is her lawyer. And to prove his friend's innocence, Myron must trace the rise and fall of the victim, a pitcher who had been making a comeback with the Yankees. Suddenly the investigation is leading Myron to places he'd rather not go: into a family's agony, through the city's sexual underground, and to a moment buried on the dark side of a brilliant sports career.... Twelve years ago a young agent named Bolitar tried to help an up-and-coming athlete. It was a fatal mistake—and now Myron will have to pay the price.... Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Harlan Coben rocks!I loved the book. Just finished it and have started another. It's great to find a new author to enjoy. Rating: - Great MysteryThe Myron Bolitar series is awesome. These books are just as good as his individual novels but they have a much more positve mood, are funnier, and are just great fun. This one was not complex but not so much that you got lost, and once again, as in Fade Away, it ended up having a great deal to do with Myron's past. Awesome! Rating:  - Another Solid Entry in the Bolitar SeriesI'm a big fan of Harlan Coben, who I consider one of the best suspense writers working today. Like many people, I read Coben's standalone novels, like TELL NO ONE, first. I am now working my way through Coben's older novels, a series of murder mysteries involving a sports agent named Myron Bolitar. THE FINAL DETAIL is the sixth novel in that series, and it's very enjoyable. I've read almost all of the Bolitar novels now, and I'm very impressed with this series as a whole. The Bolitar ... Read More Rating:  - My Final Bolitar NovelI may try one more, but only if the action picks up. By reading this, you would not know that Myron Bolitar has a third degree black belt in marshal arts. Here he is always getting the crap beat out of him. Oh, by the way Win, Myron's rich friend has a sixth degree black belt and is usually underestimated by his opponents. This Bolitar novel is readable, but just barely; Myron is becoming too much of a confused character. Thank God for Win who is strong and always on a steady course. This ... Read More Rating: - Might Be Coben's FinestIn 'The Final Detail' Coben provides us with the strongest Myron Bolitor story yet, and that's saying something. Bolitor, as always, is an engaging hero. The story provides abundant internal strife for Myron on both a professional and personal level. But, playing the role of hero to perfection, Myron doesn't falter and uncovers the truth. Outside of Myron, the story provides a heavy dose of Win, and we're rewarded with his best performance yet. Up until this book, Win was probably my least ... Read More |
