Myron Bolitar is the protagonist of Home and the Myron Bolitar series. He is a partner at MB Reps talent agency and part-time crime solver. He attended Duke University, where he was roommates with his best friend Win Lockwood. Myron was a standout basketball star who was drafted by the Celtics. In a preseason game, he was in a collision that resulted in a terrible leg injury that ended his career. At 6 feet 4 inches and 225 pounds, he is still a physically powerful and imposing figure. 

While the injury was a massive blow, Myron chose to go to law school and start a sports agency that allowed him to still be part of the sports world. In connection with Win, who possesses a considerable vigilante streak, Myron also became an unofficial private investigator as he gets pulled into crimes surrounding his loved ones and clients. He is very close to his parents, Al and Ellen, who love and support him. He is estranged from his brother Brad but loves Brad’s son Mickey, a high school student and star basketball player. Harlan Coben’s previous books show Myron’s long history of complicated romantic relationships.
