Fade Away is the third in the Myron Bolitar series by Harlan Coben. It is one of several early Bolitar titles recently re-issued by Random House Audio Assets. It and the others are read by Jonathan Marosz and I must confess, being used to listening to Scott Brick reading Cobens titles, I wasnt entirely sure what to expect. In the event, I thought Marosz was excellent. He has an identifiable voice for every character, the right amount of humour in his voice & he does a grand job of upper crust American Ivy League Wins voice.
Bolitar, forced to retire from an extremely promising basketball career with a severe knee injury is now a successful sports agent. But having never really recovered from the disappointment of his lost opportunity, he jumps at the chance to return to the New York Dragons. Unfortunately for him, it isnt a return to professional basketball, but rather he is hired to go undercover as a player to find the missing star Greg Downing who has mysteriously disappeared, a player Bolitar knows from old. The team boss wants him found quickly, before news of his disappearance leaks in the end of season challenge for glory.
Bolitar finds blood in Downings basement and the body of a woman. He is soon in deep trouble as his past begins to have a bearing on his present & the people on Downings tail start to turn their attention to Bolitar. Fortunately for Bolitar, he has the support of the debonair, suave & ultimately lethal Win to help him.
Fade Away brings together Bolitar & Win, as well as Big Cindy & Esperanzo and has all the trademark Coben humour & one-liners all delivered perfectly by Marosz. These re-released titles are value priced & not to be missed.
