An omnibus consisting of the first three novels in the award-winning Myron Bolitar series. Combining a wry wit with some moments of surprising darkness, these novels contain all the elements of the very best of modern crime writing.

'Deal Breaker' When a woman who everyone, including the police, believes is dead, makes a phone call to a young sportsman about to hit the big time, it seems that more than just his career is on the line.

Myron Bolitar investigates, and is plunged into a baffling mystery of sex and blackmail. Trying to unravel the truth about a family's tragedy, a woman's secret and a man's lies, Myron soon realises that image and talent might make you rich, but the truth can get you killed . . .

'Drop Shot' A young woman is murdered - and Myron Bolitar finds himself up against a killer and the truth. The young woman was shot dead in cold blood, dropped outside the stadium, in front of a stand selling Moet at $7.50 a glass. Once her tennis career had skyrocketed. Now, at the height of the US Open, the headlines were being made by another young player from the wrong side of the tracks.

When Myron Bolitar investigates the killing he uncovers a connection between the two players and a six year-old murder at an exclusive club. Suddenly Myron is in over his head. And with a dirty senator, a jealous mother, as well the Mob, all drawn into the case, he finds himself playing the most dangerous game of all . . .

'Fade Away' They used to be rivals - now Myron Bolitar must find the man who once brought him down. When Myron Bolitar is asked to find missing sportsman Greg Downing it brings back a whole load of unwanted memories. He and Greg were once rivals - not just in sport, but for a woman they both loved.

At Greg's house Myron finds blood in the basement - lots of it. And when he discovers a body, he begins to unravel the strange, violent world of a national hero gone wrong, as he comes face to face with a past he can't relive, and a present he may not survive.
