Myron is a former college basketball star whose NBA career was cut short by an incident. The book follows as he grows up and reinvents himself as one of the industry’s leading sports agents. However, there is always a twist as his job also involves him investigating murders, threats, blackmail attempts and more.The author also talked about seeing all of his characters on the big screen as an incredible opportunity. He shared a statement about the same, sharing that “what an honor, not to mention, a lot of fun, it is to partner at Netflix with the legend David E. Kelley and his remarkable team on this exciting new series. Myron Bolitar’s books mean so much to me, and I’m thrilled to have such a talented and inspired group bring them to life.”“The official release date of the show has not yet been announced to the public. It’s not the first time one of Coben’s books has been adapted into a live-action project. ‘I Will Find You’, ‘Fool Me Once’ and ‘Run Away’, to name a few, have been inspired by their iconic books and characters.
