"When a beautiful woman offers her a secret, Detective Rynn Callahan knows to be wary. But the information sports agent Toni Davis gives her casts a completely new light on a murder that has Rynn baffled. The dead man had a boyfriend--one of Toni's NFL clients. Professional football is driven by all the motives for murder, Rynn soon realizes. Huge contracts drive competitive jealousy between owners and players. Winning is everything. Following up on Toni's head, Rynn's suggestion that at least one player in the League is gay is met with the utmost hostility from every quarter. Toni, however, is anything but hostile, and the two women find they have far more in common than a dead body. But one dead body becomes two, and the person connecting both victims is Toni. Rynn finds herself drawn into a cat-and-mouse game she must win if she wants to keep Toni--and herself--alive."--Page 4 of cover.
Severity reflects intensity, not value — “central theme” means a warning is a core part of the book, not that the book is bad.
