Fade Away — Harlan Coben

OLD ATHLETES NEVER DIE. THEY JUST FADE AWAY.

Once Myron Bolitar was the best. Then an injury sent him to law school amid on to a second career as a big-time sports agent--a career fueled by savvy, Yoo-Hoo, and an athlete's broken heart. Now Myron's getting the one chance he never dared dream of: to shoot hoops again for money. But the NBA's New Jersey Dragons want Myron for more than his jump shot.

The Dragon star, Greg Downing, has vanished, and Myron has the history and know-how to find him. When Myron investigates, the game turns brutal. Greg has disappeared in a flurry of spilled secrets and spilled blood.

From the groupies to the gamblers, from a 60s gang of radicals to a woman reporter who's making the news, Myron is on a trip through the underbelly of the 90s sports world--where a missing superstar and an unbearable truth wait at the final buzzer.
