Cover wornReviews n nIt's first down and goal-to-go for Green, former lineman for nfoot ball's Atlanta Falcons, who, with the popular suspense novel nRuffians (LJ 9/15/ 93), proved that all jocks ain't dumb. In his nlatest, a star player is accused of murder. n nA football star on trial in a sensational murder case; a female na ttorney distracted by a bitter custody battle with her ex-husband; nbloody evide nce, sex and violence'the similarities between the plot nof this third novel fro m former Atlanta Falcon defensive end Green n(Titans), who's now an NFL color an alyst for Fox-TV, and a certain nongoing trial in L.A. seem made in publishing h eaven. The trouble nis, there's almost too much going on here. Cody Grey, defens ive nstandout for the Texas Outlaws, is nearing the end of his career nand ruini ng his body and psyche with painkillers in a desperate neffort to hang on to his playing days as well as to his lovely but nunfaithful wife, Jenny. Meanwhile, J enny's new lover, the ncold-blooded rogue CIA agent Striker, is selling nuclear- grade nplutonium to shadowy Middle East figures'and he's using Jenny as nhis wil ling accomplice. Her involvement with Striker eventually nleads to Cody being ac cused of murdering a mean-spirited IRS agent, nand to his being defended in a gr and courtroom drama by the nbrilliant Madison McCall. Green is a solid storytell er. His ndepiction of NFL football, Texas style, will remind readers of nPeter G ent's early novels; despite a penchant for telegraphing, he nmanages to tie his myriad plot threads into a neat bundle by nnovel's end. While too busy, this is an enjoyable read, tailor-made nfor those who can't get enough of allegedly homi cidal sports nfigures and their sensational lives. (Sept.). N° de réf. du vendeur 2626ac
