5-11-10 Back Spin by Harlan Coben - Fiction

4 - I laughed my ass off during a lot of this book because Myron Bolitar, the sports agent main character, doesn't get golf, doesn't like golf doesn't want to understand golf but is at the US Open. and his opinions on golf are absolutely unapologetic and hilarious. Nope, not a big golf fan here either. Interspersed with the humor is a tense mystery involving the kidnapped son of the LPGA champion and her husband who has become the front runner in the Open. Myron gets pulled in to help find the boy and is soon in over his head. With millions of advertising dollars riding on the outcome of the Open, the competition is fierce no only on the course, but also off the course for agents and merchandisers alike. Myron, with the help of his employee Esperanza (who used to be a professional wrestler. Love the quirky!) is racing against time to wade through all the family secrets and find the boy. If you haven't read any Harlan Coben yet, shame on you. You don't know what you're missing.
