When Marauders' star quarterback Bobby Doyle goes missing, it starts a chain reaction that pairs Metro Police Detective Rich Vitelli with his old FBI buddy Eric Maddox in a desperate search for the missing athlete. As their search begins, Vitelli is astonished to discover that there is another, parallel, effort to find Bobby Doyle, and whoever is behind it will happily resort to murder to find him. The circumstances surrounding the football player's disappearance are convoluted to say the least, and end up involving not only the Russian mob, but Vitelli's old nemesis, Anubis Cline. This is the third in the Rich Vitelli Mystery Series. The first is The Dry Cleaner; the second is True Believers.
