About This Book

A college football squad and their circle of friends confront a string of off-field mysteries and setbacks that threaten team morale and eligibility. When a treasured article disappears, pranks escalate into hazing, sabotage, and a suspicious fire, prompting searches, investigations, and legal entanglements. Clues including a missing timepiece and a hidden deed shift suspicions and reveal unexpected motives. After on-field defeats and bitter personal trials, recovered evidence and steady teamwork restore the squad’s prospects, and the season’s fate is decided by a decisive score in the final contest.
