- Synopsis
- Former quarterback turned Edgar-winning author Eli Cranor throws a glorious game winner in this series debut starring a rookie FBI agent who finds herself caught in the tangled web of a college football empire—and the bloody greed that fuels it.&“Former college quarterback Eli Cranor scores big with Mississippi Blue 42, a fun, provocative crime novel that takes aim at the heart of the American game.&”—Michael Koryta, New York Times bestselling author of An Honest ManSpecial Agent Rae Johnson grew up on football fields alongside her father, a national-championship-winning coach. Which is exactly why, fresh out of Quantico, she&’s sent down to Compson, Mississippi, to investigate the illicit money flowing into a bustling football program in the heart of the Delta. But two days into the assignment things take a dire turn when UCM&’s star quarterback is flung from the roof of a college bar, lands on a bag of money, and dies.Hoping to turn a routine fraud case into a career-defining bust, Rae ingratiates herself with the fans, coaches, players, and politicians who make up the university&’s complex social hierarchy. With rumors of corruption rustling through the kudzu vines, Rae soon realizes there&’s more to the game than what she&’d learned as a child. And in order to win, she&’ll have to put all her father&’s lessons to the ultimate test.In the vein of Carl Hiaasen and Sue Grafton, Mississippi Blue 42 takes a hard and often hilarious look at the big-money world of college athletics. In Cranor&’s capable hands, football isn&’t just a game, it&’s a front-row seat to the great American show.
