Greg is considered crazy by the rest of the team and his disappearance is casually dismissed as such at first. However, Greg has gone missing for far too long and with playoffs approaching, Clip is ill at ease about it.
Convinced that Greg’s team mates know something about his disappearance and would easily share it with an insider, Clip brings in Myron to play for the Dragons, earn the team’s trust and find Greg.Clip and Myron share a history.

Brenda is quite an item in the women’s basket ball league and has been receiving threatening phone calls lately.Norm picks Myron to protect Brenda because he is aware of his past involvement with the FBI. There’s also the possibility that Brenda will find Myron a perfect sports agent and hire him.Myron takes the job but cites his old friendship with Brenda’s father, Horace, as his reason as opposed to monetary motivation. Myron and Brenda get to talk and he goes clean about what Norm hired him to do, which Brenda appreciates, but insists she doesn’t need a body guard.

Firstly, Brenda’s mother, Anita, discovered the body of Arthur Bradford’s wife 20 years ago and went missing nine months after. Although the death was ruled as an accident, people suspected foul play, considering that, just like the Kennedy’s, the Bradfords had a might financial and political background.Questions linger about what happened to Anita. Did her disappearance have something to do with finding the truth about what killed Bradford’s wife? Was she abused by her husband to the extent of disappearing? Why did she forsake Brenda and not try to contact her?To find answers to the above questions, Myron and Win have to piece together facts related to Horace Slaughter’s murder, Arthur Bradford’s race for governor and what exactly transpired in the association involving the Ache brothers, a rival basket ball league and rival candidate.In the end, Myron and Win (best friend) get to the bottom of the murder mystery.
However, Myron has to resolve his own love life as well, having fallen for Brenda despite living together with Jessica.In his usual style, Harlan Coben tells a complicated story and ties everything together to give it a convincing ending.
