Harlan Coben "Three Great Novels"

Had a great weekend with the Harlan Coben "Three Great Novels" trilogy and I'm definately planning to get my hands on more books by this author!

The three stories:

• Deal Breaker
• Drop Shot
• Fade Away

all focus around the Myron Bolitar character, who has quickly become one of the best I have ever come across in the action genre.

Bolitar is a former basketball prodigy whose career was cut short by injury. He got involved with some shady government spy work that allowed him to hook up with a some-time psychopath who also partners with him in his new sports representation business.

He brings a rather unique mix of business and investigative tools to help him get his company off the ground and his clients out of trouble - especially when they get mixed up with the mob and other unsavoury characters.

For me the real standout in this book was the witty dialouge and writing style - it all just flowed really easily and kept me interested the whole way through. It such a pleasure when you keep reading to pick up the next witty one-liner!

The individual titles are available from South African online retailer Loot (see banner right) for as little as R55, but I recommend ordering the trilogy because the stories all tie into one another and there is a GREAT twist at the end of Fade Away which ties the whole thing together.

Title: Three Great Novels
Author: Harlan Coben
ISBN-13: 978-0-7528-4733-7

Rated the whole series as a four out of five and a definate "must-read" for those who love the action thriller genre.
