PAP. Condition: New. New Book. Shipped from UK. Established seller since 2000.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Game Changers is an intriguing glimpse into a fictional sports conspiracy. Just ask Sherman Shipton, the underachiever who was fired for self-satisfaction then birthed a game-changing SPORTS scam. Or Theodore Winston III, a con artist who stole Shipton's idea and scored big. Little Tony, a mobster who tips the scale at a cannoli shy of 350 pounds, has a hunger for the truth. While Cal Matthews, a hard-ass newspaper reporter with a soft spot for his lovely wife, might give his last full measure to uncover the story. And then there's Hassan and Viktor, a dastardly, greed-driven father-son duo taking advantage of America's twin infatuations with sports and gambling. Of course, there's a lady or three involved. Our tale-some of which is true-begins in the 1920s. Under cover of the notoriously corrupt Harding administration, Winston began betting government cash on sporting events-while also using the fed's money and muscle to fix the outcomes. He "skim-scammed" for thirty years before the government canned him and kicked the habit. Or did it? (Spoiler alert: You'll have to read the story until the very end to find out.) Let's just say that in the current climate of government shenanigans and conspiracy theories, our characters and their actions meet the moment. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
