Book Reviews of Deal Breaker: The First Myron Bolitar Novel

Book Review: A DEAL You Can't Resist
Summary: 4 Stars

Myron Bolitar is a sports agent, and even though his heart is in the right place, he doesn't seem to be very good at it. Most of his clients are the type of athletes who are lucky to get a job as a special teams player on a perennial loser. But Christian Steele is different.

Steele is the hottest quarterback prospect to come along since Dan Marino. He's big and white and has an arm like a cannon -- and he's Bolitar's client. Unfortunately, a cloud hangs over Steele due the disappearance (and possible murder) of his fiancée -- who just happens to be the younger sister of Myron's former girlfriend. Sticky, huh. Bolitar believes in his client's innocence, though, and sets out to prove it.

Bolitar reminds me a lot of Robert Crais' Elvis Cole, another tough, smart detective who uses wisecracks to cover up his insecurity and sensitivity. Bolitar also has a psychotic teddy bear of a sidekick in the person of Windsor Horne Lockwood III (aka Win), just as Elvis has Joe Pike. More importantly, Coben's series reminds me of Crais' in that both are excellent, funny, and suspenseful reads.

I look forward to reading more of Harlan Coben. He's definitely a keeper.
