A high-profile Giants running back accused of killing a wide
receiver for the Jets. When the police come to the door, most
people don't hold them off for three hours with a loaded gun, but
then most people haven't just found a corpse in the closet. At
least that's the explanation football player Kenny Schilling gives
Andy Carptenter (Bury the Lead, 2004, etc.) for his imprudent
reaction to the cops who came asking about the missing Troy
Preston. Paterson (N.J.) prosecutor Dylan Campbell, who's crossed
swords with Andy before, is convinced that Kenny shot Preston, and
the evidence certainly looks strong. But Andy's not so sure. Nor is
his team of investigators, headed by his ex-cop lover Laurie
Collins, who's now talking about leaving Andy to move back to the
sticks, and this time including screenwriter Adam Strickland, sent
from Hollywood to start converting Andy's first case (Open and
Shut, 2002) into a movie. It turns out that Troy Preston wasn't the
first of Kenny's old football acquaintances to die; seven others,
all healthy young men under 25, have predeceased him, and an
eighth, paralyzed Jets coach Bobby Pollard, narrowly escaped death.
The only trouble with Andy's serial-killer theory is that all the
evidence points to his client as the serial killer. All Rosenfelt's
usual pleasures: a twisty plot, crackling courtroom scenes and a
thousand wisecracks, some pretty doggoned funny. (Kirkus Reviews)
Kenny Schilling is the new star running back for the New York
Giants. Troy Prestpn was a wide receiver for the jets, until his
recent murder. Could rivalry have turned Kenny Schilling into a
cold-blooded killer? The police say yes. And now the football hero
needs a good lawyer-quick. Still basking in the glow of his last
successful case, Andy Carpenter is called to defend Kenny's
innocence. Then it's revealed that Troy wasn't the only murdered
player Kenny was in contact with. Now, amid a collapsing personal
life and death threats from a drug king-who mayor may not have a
hand in things-Andy must keep his eye on the ball during what could
become the media trial of the century
