What this book is about
Myron Bolitar is a sports agent and former would-be NBA player. His client Christian Steele is about to be the first pick in the NFL draft — and then his girlfriend, who everyone believed died years ago, starts leaving messages. Deal Breaker is the first Myron Bolitar novel — the series that launched Harlan Coben; fast, funny, and packed with the sharp New Jersey dialogue that became his signature.
