This is the fifth book in the Myron Bolitar series and personally, I think it's the best I've read - and I've loved the previous four. In this caper, Myron is hired by his buddy Norm Zuckerman to "protect" Brenda Slaughter. She's been receiving threatening phone calls and her father is missing. Reluctantly, Myron agrees to help out and starts looking for Brenda's father and Brenda's mother who walked out on their family when Brenda was five. Myron doesn't count on falling for Brend...more

Harlan Coben, One False Move (Delacorte, 1998)
Harlan Coben's fourth novel, and the fourth in the Myron Bolitar series, One False Move gives Coben a new client with bad surroundings. (Surprise, surprise, eh?)

WPBL head Norm Zuckerman wants Bolitar to represent Slaughter, since her father, who had managed her career up till a week before, had gone missing.

I really enjoy the Myron Bolitar sport agent crime novels. I loved this novel. First of all, let me say that you need to read this series in order because it slowly reveals different aspects of the characters. The mystery in this one isn't the best one so far. However, I give it a higher rating for the progression of the characters in the big picture. I didn't like that Mr. Coben had another basketball player in this one. I was looking for him to jump to another sport like he has in the past. I ...more

Marsha loaned me this book because he is her favorite author. Also found out that he is Bryant Gumbles favorite too. Myron Bolitair is a great character, a tough, wisecraking guy on the outside, but vulnerable and sensitive at heart. The rest of the characters are interesting as well. The plot is fast paced, with lots of twists, and a susprising ending. Good descriptions of the setting, and many interesting observations as well. I enjoyed "Myron" and found him likeable but it had a lot...more

I love Myron Bolitar. He's a great, flawed-but-still-nice main character and I have really enjoyed every book I've read in the Myron Bolitar Mysteries series (though they do feel slightly redundant if you read too many of them back-to-back.)

I really enjoyed this book and this is coming from a not-so-big mystery fan.
The book is very well written, has interesting characters, and surprises around the corner. I do think I'll read more Myron Bolitar novels by Harlan Coben.

What can I say, another Myron Bolitar great! I love these novels, they are extremely fast reading, and Coben is one of the few authors where I am continuously caught laughing outloud at witty remarks from Myron or Win. 2 more to go.

I hate to admit this, but this is type of book feeds into my guilty pleasure of reading a macho 'can-do' guy who can work his way through troubling problems. If you like this type of detective thriller...you'll enjoy the journey.

I love Harlan Coben as an author. This was the first book that I have read the the character Myron Bolitar. It was entertaining the whole way through, however the end really grabbed me. I consistently enjoy Harlan Coben books.

I got to meet Harlen Coben in NYC at a Booksellers Conference in June 2007, and I felt lucky. He has such a great sense of humor which obviously explains why he injects it in his books. I love this series; Myron is wonderful!

recommends it for:
anyone woh likes suspense
I have just listened to this as an audiobook. It's easy listening/reading, the suspense will drive you on. I didn't want to get out of my car at times when I got to work, as I was so desperate to find out what had happened!

Part of the Myron Bolitar. I enjoy the combination of little bit of romance and mystery but wish the ending had been a bit happier. I recommend this be read in sequence with this series.

One of my favorite suspense/mystery writers. He adds a lot of humor into his books with the "Myron Bolitar" character. Gotta love that! A must read author for those who like suspense.

This is one of the Myron Bolitar series of books. These books are very entertaining with mystery intertwined. Set mostly in NYC, but also references to Philadelphia Main Line.

I really like this author. This one was good, just like his others. The same characters pop up in many of his books so that makes it nice to recognize people.

there were a few bits that were just too convienient though.
