Mississippi Blue 42

A gripping thriller for a major new voice is crime fiction, this is the perfect read for fans of S. A. Cosby, James Lee Burke and Attica Locke.

'Eli Cranor is that rare writer who can make you gasp, cry and cheer often in the same paragraph' S. A. COSBY

Special Agent Rae Johnson grew up on football fields alongside her father, a national-championship-winning coach. Which is exactly why she was chosen to investigate the illicit money flowing into the University of Central Mississippi's football program. But her case takes a dire turn when UCM's star quarterback is flung off a college bar's roof and lands on a bag full of money.

Hoping to turn a routine fraud case into a career-defining bust, Rae ingratiates herself with the fans, coaches, players, and politicians who make up the university's complex social hierarchy. With rumors of corruption rustling through the kudzu vines, Rae soon realizes there's more to the game than what she'd learned as a child. And in order to win, she'll have to put all her father's lessons to the ultimate test.
