Sudden Death is a murder mystery set in the world of football. More
than a whodunit, the novel spans roughly thirty years from 1966 to
1997 in the life of one couple, who grew up half the world apart.
Kendall Harris, a brilliant law student from Georgia, and Duke
Astin, a star quarterback from Hawaii, meet at UCLA, fall in love,
and marry soon after graduation. Kendall practices law and Duke
plays for a decade in the NFL, then becomes a college coach.
Juggling two careers and moving from state to state puts pressure
on their relationship. But through the joys and stresses of life,
they stay loyal to one another. Things take a troubling turn when
Coach Astin is hired by a football powerhouse in the South.
Immediately, an influential group unhappy Duke was hired begins to
undermine everything he tries to accomplish. The coach and his wife
both receive death threats as they work to keep focus on their
careers and activities in the community. But when the murder
occurs, the story becomes a search for joy and goodness in life,
and ultimately the triumph of the human spirit over unspeakable
odds. Written by a woman who has spent her entire life married to a
football player and coach, Sudden Death also explores serious
themes of sports gambling, alcoholism, and spousal abuse within the
varied cast of characters.
