Overview

Kenny Schilling is a running back for the Giants, a third round pick just blossoming into a star. But is he also a murderer Fresh off a plane from LA, where he went to discuss a possible movie about his defense of the wrongly-convicted Willie Miller, Andy Carpenter is greeted by a policeman who informs him that Kenny wants to talk to him-and only him. Andy is confused until he learns Kenny is holed up in his apartment and the cops think he killed Troy Preston, a wide receiver for the Jets. Kenny definitely needs a lawyer and Andy seems to be it. Kenny proclaims his innocence, as all Andy's clients do, but this time Andy actually believes him. As he starts to investigate, he learns Troy may not be the only mysteriously murdered football player Kenny has come in contact with. But Andy's mind is also on Laurie, the love of his life, who announces she might leave New Jersey to move back to her hometown. Andy can't believe she might leave him and this occupies his mind even as his own life is threatened by a drug king who may or may not be involved in Troy's murder, someone close to Andy's firm is murdered and a conviction looks more and more certain for Kenny.

*'[This book] will be read with pleasure in the afterglow of refreshment at the 19th hole' SPECTATOR *'Mark Frost has come up trumps with this intriguing tale about the life and career of golf's most lauded amateur, Bobby Jones. Frost's tribute to the great man is highly commendable ... while the subject matter is a selling point in itself, just as compelling is the author's knack of storytelling' IRELAND ON SUNDAY '[Mark Frost's] first book on golf was, darn it, as close to perfection as any author can hope to attain ... [THE GRAND SLAM] is unquestionably the golf book of the year' IRISH TIMES 'The second book, like the second album, is supposed to be the hard one and after the massive success of THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED critics doubted Frost's ability to pull it off again. He has in this wonderful bio of Bobby Jones, the first man to lay successful siege to the Impregnable Quadrilateral (more prosaically, the Grand Slam). Weaving social and personal history and writing in that picture-evoking, limpid style and cinematographic manner that becomes the former writer/producer of Hill Street Blues and Twin Peaks, Frost evokes the man and the magic moment. Top Drawer!' IRISH INDEPENDENT, Top 20 Sports Books of 2004 'Fascinating ... superb' GOLF WEEKLY
