Sports agent Myron Bolitar is asked to keep an eye on the star of the new women's basketball league who's been receiving threats on her life. Myron takes it on, figuring he'll pick up the star as a new client. Soon her beauty and herquiet strength have him falling for her terrible story - the mother who disappeared twenty years before and the father who was recently discovered murdered - as he moves headlong into a case that prevails against his own better judgment, maybe to win her heart, maybe to save his own. The answer is at the end of a narrow trail of lies, lust, and murder, where one false move can cost both of them their lives.
