The Edgar Award-winning Fade Away begins in a home that's top-notch New Jersey suburban. The living room is Martha Stewart. The basement is Legos..and blood. When professional basketball player Greg Downing disappears, the evidence doesn't bode well. Soon, Myron is returning to professional basketball with the New Jersey Dragons after being sidelined by an injury ten years ago...in order to search for Greg. Now, among the stars, the wannabes, the gamblers and groupies, Myron is unraveling the strange, violent life of a sports hero gone wrong, and coming face-to-face with a past he can't relive..and a present he may not survive.

In One False Move, Myron 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 on the seemingly innocuous task, figuring he'll pick up the star as a new client. But soon her quiet strength has him falling for her terrible story..the mother who disappeared twenty years before and the father who was recently discovered murdered..as he plunges headlong into the case. The truth resides at the end of a twisting trail of lies, lust, and murder..and one false move will cost both of them their lives.
