Description
'From the very first page to the very last Foul Play just gave it a winning goal after goal'????? Real reader review
'Great book and storyline... so many twists and turns. I couldn't put it down'????? Real reader review
Superstar footballer Luca Bruni is being blackmailed for a night of sex he swears he didn't participate in... except the photos contradict that. A media darling on and off the field, Luca has a perfect home life he'll do anything to protect, and more money than he knows what to do with. He's determined to defy the extortion racket.
When Detective Superintendent Jack Hawksworth learns that the mastermind behind this crime has already swindled a dozen of the world's most highly prized male sporting stars, he knows he has to keep the situation from escalating and prevent a media frenzy.
Intrigued by the creativity of the crime and the shockwaves it is creating through the global sporting fraternity, Jack begins a journey into a case that has tentacles far more wide-reaching than he could have imagined - and far more deadly.
