IT'S GOING TO BE A KILLER SEASON

Ten-million-dollar quarterback Derek Brody is the best new hope for the New York Stars. He's got the arm, the attitude, and the guts to make it work on the football field.

But off the field, he finds things more dangerous than any defense -- like a team of warring malcontents led by a coach resigned to defeat; an owner's seductive daughter with a thing for rookies; a cutthroat personnel director...and the corpse of the Stars' ex-quarterback.

In the high-stakes, winner-take-all world of pro football, blindsided by a shadowy underground of drugs, corruption, and sudden death, Derek Brody is going to have to use every play in the book -- if he wants to survive.
