Wagering on pro football is a hobby for fans who enjoy the thrill of sports gaming. For serious gamblers, it can be a profitable venture. For those who can control the game's outcome, it is nothing less than a gold mine. Carl, son of legendary NFL quarterback Billy West, was following in his dad's footsteps when life as he knew it came crashing down. After his dream was shattered, Carl barely survived the rigor of college academics, graduating near the bottom of his class in Mass Media. Unable to find a job as a sportswriter, Carl settled for the only position he could find: a part-time obituary consultant for the Eau Claire Gazette. Carl quickly realized the death notices he published had bizarre similarities, and soon he suspected foul play. Propelled by curiosity, Carl discovered a conspiracy he unwittingly created. With his family and friends in grave danger, Carl must find a way out. But that foreboding path leads directly through the National Football League, and the honor and reputation of every player, past and present, is at stake-including his father's. Bend of Honor is a riveting sports mystery thriller filled with suspense, drama, twists and turns at every corner, and a stunning ending. You will never watch pro football the same way again!
