I have read a couple books from this author before. Sadly I didn't connect, until now. The character Myron Bolitar and his side kick Win Lockwood were not as expected. Myron took what was done to him as an athlete to make it better for others. For awhile wasn't sure why a sport agent was investigating a crime? Nor Win Lockwood. Until I read that they were FBI at one time. Of course not any ordinary FBI. Myron's secretary, Esperanza Diaz is what you expect. Someone who keeps things running and organized. And doesn't mind telling what's on her mind. And with that she is Myron's closest friend. Of course Myron's old girlfriend Jessica Culver shows up. Has a job for Myron.
The case that Myron and company worked on was a very interesting one. You have blackmail, murder (or 2)? and revenge . All between Kathy Culver, her star athlete boyfriend Christian Steele, her father Adam, mother and Paul Dungan (cop).
The story read like an old detective show. Don't see many of them anymore. Myron and Win had to fight off thugs "in the business". As Myron takes to things in humor. Sometimes it gets him places. And sometimes it gets him in trouble.
As for Win always on the lookout, always skeptical.
Old fashioned detective work has Myron getting his guy at the end. Which wasn't revealed to end.
I give Deal Breaker 5
I look forward to moving on and read the next Myron Bolitar book
