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....

Myron Bolitar is een heetgebakerde, sentimentele sportmakelaar met een venijnige tong, verslaafd aan mokkakoffie en met een groot talen voor het aantrekken van opdrachten die hij eigenlijk niet wil. Hij krijgt het ondenkbare verzoek Brenda Slaughter, de nieuwe ster van het vrouwenbasketbal, te beschermen. Haar vader wordt vermist en Brenda zelf wordt met de dood bedreigd.
Myron Bolitar gaat op zoek naar de moeder van een bevriende basketbalster. Hij raakt hoe langer hoe meer verwikkeld in allerlei intriges en corruptie, waarbij machtige families en maffia zijn betrokken. Ook de liefde(sproblemen) komt weer om de hoek kijken en komen vriendschappen onder druk te staan. De afloop is duidelijk maar niet altijd prettig. ( )
Hij liep bij haar vandaan. Jessica keek hem zwijgend na. Hij stapte in zijn auto en zette de motor aan. Ze bewoog zich nog steeds niet. Hij begon te rijden, maar keek in zijn achteruitkijkspiegeltje. De transparante schim werd steeds kleiner. Maar verdween niet helemaal.
