Norman Freeman a former football (American football that is) is shoot at while in his car and hires Burnside, ex-college football player who is now a private investigator to find out why. Then Norman's brother is killed.
This book would have been a lot better without all the football game talk as it didn't help to solve the mystery and was to be honest boring.

Burnside's second case occurs a year later when a local politician is killed and the clues point to one suspect. A lot less football talk would make this a better read.

A decent, quick reading detective novel. Perfect for summer reading.
