It's a story about an American football player, Griff Burkett, who is at the top of his game but gets involved in gambling, gathers up such huge debts that his only option to work them off is to get into a match fixing deal with some bookies.
But he gets caught red handed and is sent to prison for serving a sentence.
He thinks his problem should end there but well, it doesn't. Even after he is released he is stalked by someone who is very keen on putting him behind bars for an unsolved murder. He gets involved in a secret affair with a very rich businessman's wife and gets trapped in a huge web of betrayal.
The story continues with how he redeems himself of all the accusations and if at all he lives to see another day.
The way Sandra Brown has written the novel is very unique. The mysteries are hidden beneath one another. And these layers start opening up only at the very end.
I didn't find the book to be a "thriller" as its categorized to be, I think it should come under the category of "Late Bloomers". Up until midway I did not even know what was happening.
So, if you find yourself yawning up until half way through the book, I guess its a pretty normal reaction.
