    <body><![CDATA[Coben's Myron Bolitar series is somewhat diferent than some of his more recent thrillers as it is more of a private eye series, and it has a lot of humor.  One of the best things about it is Myron's observations on things around him, from the teenage girls at the mall to wheel of fortune.  <br/><br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50196308">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Kidnappers 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.<br/><br/>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.]]>
