Elle aimerait savoir pourquoi sa mère les a quitté quand elle avait 5 ans. Finalement, on découvre son père mort, sa mère a été tuée l’année où elle les a quitté et elle même se fait assassiner. Miron découvre que c’est sa tante qui les a tous tué, mais aucune preuve ( ) #5 in Coben's Myron Bolitar series. A gripping suspense novel that follows sports agent Bolitar as he takes on the role of bodyguard for basketball star Brenda Slaughter. As he delves into her tragic past, Myron uncovers a web of corruption, lies, and dangerous secrets that threatens to destroy Brenda's career and her life. With his quick wit and resourcefulness, Myron must navigate NYC's dangerous underworld to uncover the truth and protect Brenda from harm. Filled with Coben's signature twists and turns, "One False Move" is a pulse-pounding read that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. This series didn't sound very interesting when I first came across it - I mean, really, a book about a Jewish sports agent with the cringeworthy name of Myron Bolitar, head of MB Sports (from N.J. no less)? But five books into the series, it has cemented itself into one of my top series. This series has it all - great humor, very diversified characters, and good stories. Besides Myron, we have his best friend from college Win - Windsor Horne Lockwood III, to be exact. Win is a frail looking, very white rich financial advisor that is physically weak-looking and so is underestimated by strangers - once. He's the type that can have a gun pulled on him, act unconcerned as the trigger is pulled, then have the gun pointed at the assailant before he can fire. Win scares the baddest of the bad-asses. All of Myron's clients are required to hire Win as their financial analyst, and also must personally meet with him regularly - all for their own good so they keep the money they earn rather than getting ripped off. Then there's his next best friend and co-worker Esperanza Diaz, a Latina former pro wrestler who was known as Little Pocahontas even though she had no Native American blood. He can't live without her friendship or her skills in the office. And of course Big Cyndi (never just Cyndi), who's six-six, three hundred pounds and had been Esperanza’s tag team wrestling partner, known in the ring as Big Chief Mama. For years Myron had only heard her growl, never speak. But her voice could be anything she wanted. When she worked as a bouncer at Leather-N-Lust on Tenth Street, she put on an accent that made Arnold Schwarzenegger sound like a Gabor sister. Cyndi seems a bit dense, but she's often ahead of the game, very loyal (mostly to Esperanza), and works hard. There are a lot of other more minor characters that are entertaining, making the stories always interesting, like his on again, off again girlfriend. Unlike many such books, Myron is not a ladies' man, and doesn't chase after women. He'd rather get married and have a happy family. This book was not quite as light as the previous ones. Some people that we (and Myron) care about die. Some rotten people aren't so rotten. But worst of all, a chasm opens up between Myron and his girlfriend, making Esperanza happy (she hates the girlfriend because she hurt Myron in the past). The story was good, though, and I can't stop reading now. I'm already into the next book of the series, which continues on from this story, but don't worry, this is not a multipart story. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

HTML:She's smart, beautiful, and she doesn't need a man to look after her. But sports agent Myron Bolitar has come into her life—big time. Now Myron's next move may be his last. . . Brenda Slaughter is no damsel in distress. Myron Bolitar is no bodyguard. But Myron has agreed to protect the bright, strong, beautiful basketball star. And he's about to find out if he's man enough to unravel the tragic riddle of her life. Twenty years before, Brenda's mother deserted her. And just as Brenda is making it to the top of the women's pro basketball world, her father disappears too. A big-time New York sports agent with a foundering love life, Myron has a professional interest in Brenda. Then a personal one. But between them isn't just the difference in their backgrounds or the color of their skin. Between them is a chasm of corruption and lies, a vicious young mafioso on the make, and one secret that some people are dying to keep—and others are killing to protect.... Praise for One False Move “Fast-moving, funny—an altogether good read!”—Los Angeles Times “Consistently entertaining . . . Coben moves himself into the front ranks of mystery fiction alongside heavy hitters like Robert B. Parker, Sue Grafton and Robert Crais.”—Houston Chronicle “Must read . . . combines Chandler's wry wit with Ross Macdonald's moral complexity.”—Philadelphia Enquirer “A superb book!”—Christian Science Monitor.
