内容紹介
The home was top-notch New Jersey suburban. The living room was Martha Stewart. The basement was Legos—and blood. For sports agent Myron Bolitar, the disappearance of a man he'd once competed against was bringing back memories—of the sport he and Greg Downing had both played and the woman they both loved. Now, among the stars, the wanna-bes, the gamblers and groupies, Myron is unraveling the strange, violent life of a sports hero gone wrong, and coming face-to-face with a past he can't relive, and a present he may not survive.
In novels that crackle with wit and suspense, Edgar Award winner Harlan Coben has created one of the most fascinating and complex heroes in suspense fiction—Myron Bolitar—a hotheaded, tenderhearted sports agent who grows more and more engaging and unpredictable with each page-turning appearance.
From the Paperback edition.

スポーツエージェントMyron Bolitarが主人公のシリーズ。膝の怪我によりプロのバスケットボール選手になることを断念して10年。そのMyronが、失踪したスター選手を探し出すために、選手としての再起を装ってプロのチームに入る。選手として試合にも出ながら、例の如く友人のWinと共同で捜査を進めていくが、最後にショッキングな真相が明らかとなる。Harlan Cobenお決まりの行方不明ものであるが、決してマンネリではなく、次々予想外の展開を示し、最後まで読者を楽しませてくれる。シリーズ物で、しかも似たようなテーマを扱いながら、次々スリリングな新しいストーリーを生み出すCobenの力量には感心させらる。また、この作品では、本当にプロ選手になることは不可能だと知りつつ、心の奥では昔の夢を捨てきれないMyronの葛藤もよく描かれており、何か哀れみさえ感じさせる。シリーズの前の作品を読んでいなくても話は分かるが、この作品の結末を考えると、やはり順番に読んでいった方が良いだろう。英語は平易で読みやすい。

お馴染みのマイロンシリーズだけど、今回の話はそれほど暗くないのかと思って読んでみると、最後に悲痛な場面に遭遇する。マイロンシリーズの中でも必読の書か。
プロバスケのスーパースターが失踪したので、探し出すことを頼まれ、チームメイトから聞き出す目的で、10年前に膝の怪我で夢が果たせなかったプロデビューもする。
相変わらず、会話がさえてるシリーズで、やはり会話の部分は意味がよく分からない部分があり、また、今回は一部分だが、解剖学くらいでしか必要ないと思われる単語も出てくるが、基本的には読みやすい。

Four and a half stars...

I've read a few Harlan Coben books recently and I have thoroughly enjoyed his Myron Bolitar series. In Fade Away, he definitely raises the bar and moves from being not just an entertaining mystery writer, but also a well-written one.
Myron Bolitar is a 32 year old lawyer who runs his own sports agency. At one time, he was one of the top college players in the country. But after being drafted by the Celtics, he blows his knee out in a preseason scrimmage and his potential career is history. Now, the owner and general manager of the New Jersey Dragons want him to find one of their stars, Greg Downing, who has gone missing right before tournaments are to begin. In order not to raise suspicions, they place Bolitar on the team so that he can better investigate what has happened. Downing and Bolitar have been in competition since they were in high school, and it wasn't always about basketball. Bolitar finds many reasons for the possible disappearance of Downing that range from compulsive gambling to possible murder.
When I first started reading Coben, I thought the characters were a little too much like Robert Parker's Spenser and Hawk. But I've come to appreciate them on a new level. As a person who has played and coached basketball, Coben is right on in his observations about the game and the players. In describing Bolitar's complicated relationship with Downing, he says "there is a special bond between competitors. Kinda like Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. You become defined by one another. It was like that with Greg and me. It was unspoken, but we both knew the bond was there." TC, the other Dragon star tells Bolitar about the price of being a star. " The real price is you ain't a person anymore. You're just a thing, a shiny thing like one of these Benzes out there. The poor brothers think I'm a golden ladder with goodies at every step up. The rich white boys think I'm a fancy pet."
The plot in Fade Away is also much more intricate than usual, and the ending has a stunner of a surprise. I never saw it coming. The one thing that kept me from giving it five stars is that the plot line where Bolitar is recruited to play is a big stretch. Otherwise, this was a pretty awesome book.

HARLAN HAS DONE IT AGAIN!

First and foremost, I do NOT consider myself a reader of mysteries, UNLESS of course, they are written by Harlan Coben. "Fade Away" is a wonderful example of what a writer can do with character development in a book series. With each book, we learn a little more about Myron Bolitar and what makes him tick - and we always like what we learn. This is the third of Coben's "Myron Bolitar" mysteries that I have read and each one just gets better. By now, I have learned to not try to figure out whodunnit before Myron does, because I will fail misrably. Coben tosses you red herrings like you were a performing seal at SeaWorld. And you will gobble each one up, with enthusiasm! Honestly, I resist the urge to read all of the Bolitar novels at once (even tho' I own them all). Coben's books are like Godiva Chocolates. You love them so much you just hate to gulp them down all at once.

Outstanding!

Being an avid reader of mysteries, I am thrilled to find an author such as Coben to add to my list of must-reads. Thanks to Amazon.com's recommendation, I first read Fade Away, then scampered to the computer to order the rest of Coben's books. Even if you aren't a sports person, this book will be a joy to read and hard to put down. His characters are interesting and just neurotic enough to be believeable. The reader instantly likes both the hero, Myron, his best friend, the anti-hero, Win, as well as Myron's assistant and girl friend. The plot is intricate and you wonder if it will all be tied together at the end. This is one of the best mysteries I've read in a long time. Try it - you won't be disappointed!
