Book Review: Absolutely brilliant as befits a genius talent such as Coben
Summary: 5 Stars

Since the U.S. Open golf tournament is being held at the Merion golf course near Philadelphia, sports agent and private detective Myron Bolitar attends in the hope that he can find some sports clients. At the tournament, Jack and Linda Coldren ask Myron to help them find their missing son, sixteen year old Chad, who apparently has been kidnapped. Linda has been the leading female golfer for the past decade, while Jack is known for blowing the U.S. Open almost a quarter of a century ago. Surprisingly, Jack is the early leader of the tournament. Desperate for help, he turns to his partner, Win Lockwood, who refuses to help because the clients are blood, related to his estranged mother. ....... Myron begins an investigation to unearth the missing teen. Myron tapes evidence that makes it seem as if Chad is conducting a hoax, but Linda thinks he is still in trouble. Jack thinks his son has pulled a nasty stunt on them. Linda asks Myron to stay on the case which he does. Before Myron can further dig into the case, Jack is murdered. It seems that without Win to help him, Myron is going to lose this case. ........ BACKSPIN, the latest Myron Bolitar mystery, is a great sports who-done-it. The story line is filled with twists that wrap together in a plausible manner. Long before we heard of Jerry there was a Myron, who is a wonderful character. However, this time there is the bonus of learning a lot about the enigmatic Win. Harlan Coben may be the best writer of sports mystery novels today and definitely proves that he earned his recent Edgar Award. ......Harriet Klausner
