What it's about

Three years ago, sports agent Myron Bolitar gave the eulogy at the funeral of his client and old rival, basketball coach Greg Downing. Now two federal agents walk into his office demanding to know where Greg is: he's alive, they say, and wanted for a double murder. How can a dead man be wanted for murder?

Why it's worth reading

It reached #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. It's a twisty, witty Myron Bolitar thriller.

Good to know

It's late in the Myron Bolitar series; it works alone but is best in order.
