Too Far — Mike Lupica

“Real-life news reports of out-of-control hazing by high school sports teams give Lupica's tale a ripped-from-the-headlines thrill.” -- Publishers Weekly
 
South Shore High School's nationally recognized basketball team is in the midst of a winning season when its team manager is murdered -- and aspiring sportswriter, senior Sam Perry, begins to hear stories of hazing that went over the line.  As the ranks close against him, he turns to fallen-from-grace city newsman Ben Mitchell for help. And the two will discover just how far a town will go to get a state championship.

“Surprising, dark...stunning…filled with twisting plot, crackling dialogue and unforgettable characters.” -- *Harlan Coben

“It's simple, you can write or you can't. Lupica can. And Too Far proves it again.” -- Robert B. Parker
