His heart is broken. His partner is in jail. And someone is
trying to kill him.
Then Myron Bolitar gets some really bad news....
For sports agent Myron Bolitar, it seemed like the perfect
vacation. A tropical beach. A warm breeze. A little
uncomplicated passion with a woman he barely knows. Myron
is almost in heaven when his friend Win shows up with a
message that blasts him back to reality: Esperanza is in
trouble. It's time to come home.
Now Myron is back in New York, determined to help
Esperanza, his best friend and partner, who's been accused
of killing one of their clients. But Esperanza isn't
talking. Neither is her lawyer. And to prove his friend's
innocence, Myron must trace the rise and fall of the
victim, a pitcher who had been making a comeback with the
Yankees. Suddenly the investigation is leading Myron to
places he'd rather not go: into a family's agony, through
the city's sexual underground, and to a moment buried on
the dark side of a brilliant sports career.... Twelve years
ago a young agent named Bolitar tried to help an up-and-
coming athlete. It was a fatal mistake--and now Myron will
have to pay the price....
