Line 1: {{work}} {{outdated}} Wriiten by Harlan Coben, the '''Myron Bolitar series,''' tells the story of Myron Bolitar a former Basketball player/FBI... something who now works as as a sports agent for his own company, MB [[Sports Rep]]. Thing is he has a knack for picking up clients that get themselves into some serious trouble, and he usually ends playing P.I. for his clients. Luckily he has that Harvard law degree, numerous contacts, and a third-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do to help him out. Other characters include his best friend Windsor "Win" Horne Lockwood III. He is seriously old money, and fits the prep stereotype to a tee. But don't let appearances fool you, he's a highly trained martial artist and never leaves home without at least three weapons on hand. usually also gives him a hand. Win's moral code tends to be black and white, and he has no qualms about taking out the black. Or anyone who hurts Myron. You really don't want to hurt Myron around Win. Line 13 ⟶ 14: The tenth book in the series, ''Live Wire'' is set to come out in 2011. There has been talk of making a film/TV series version of the Myron Bolitar series for years, but so far nothing has come of it. ~~----~~ {{franchisetropes}} ~~======= This Series Provides Examples of =======~~ ~~----~~ * [[Always Murder]] * [[Bishonen]]: Win. Myron mentions this at least a few times per book, and once Norm Zuckerman, an old friend of Myron and Win's, stopped in the middle of talking business to snarkily comment on Win's beauty. Line 31: * [[Friendship Moment]]: Myron usually has one with Win and Esperanza per book, if not more. * [[Good Is Not Nice]]: Win, though there's probably some YMMV on "good". * [[Heroic Sociopath]]: Win is an uppity version. Imagine the Lord version of [[Shoot 'Em Up (~~Film~~film)\|Smith]] * [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Myron and Win, complete with Myron regularly crashing at Win's and them working only a few floors apart. Myron is also the thing that Win seems to love most in the world. * [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]]: Win.
