Harlan Coben - Drop Shot

Four and a half stars. Highly recommended. Award-level stuff.

In Drop Shot, Myron Bolitar's superstar tennis client, Duane Richwood, is playing in the early rounds of the US Open when Valerie Simpson, a former child tennis star, is shot dead. Valerie had approached Myron about being her agent while she staged her comeback. When the police start questioning Duane about his involvement, Myron digs deeper into the case, and soon finds out that all the threads lead back to the murder of a US Senator's son six years earlier. A murder that no-one wants to see investigated again... Another cracking mystery from Harlan Coben.
