A concussed half-elf pro football receiver uncovers sabotage targeting his quarterback.
Half-elf Dominic Greyson doesn’t have an off switch. When his sister asks for help, he doesn’t hesitate. The problem: her husband, the team’s starting quarterback, keeps falling apart on game day, and no one can explain why.
Before Dom can start digging, a car accident leaves him with a concussion. Even with lights shining too bright and his thinking running slow, he investigates the only way he knows how: become the job, take the hit, and keep going.
What he finds isn’t a slump. It’s sabotage.
Someone is deliberately hobbling the quarterback, slowly and patiently. When they strike someone far outside the game, Dom has to decide what he’s still fighting for—and whether there’s enough of him left to do it.
For readers of Dick Francis and Tana French, with a touch of contemporary fantasy a la Ben Aaronovitch.
