Casey and Johnny are back, this time in Colombia, to rescue the abducted families of two top soccer stars.
Days before the World Cup soccer championship between Italy and Argentina, the wives and children of Italy’s two top scorers are abducted from a café in Cartagena.
Italy cannot possibly win the Cup with its top players so distracted by overwhelming fear for their families’ safety. In order to win, the players must score. To score, they need to focus. To focus, their families must be rescued.
Once again, clues somewhat fall into Casey’s and Johnny’s laps, and along with Samantha, Chelsea, and two new additions to the young team of sleuths, they find themselves in the thick of the investigation.
Cartels, mafia, intrigue, and plenty of laughs fill readers with a wide range of emotions as they devour the pages of this novel.

"An excellent follow-up to Balkind's Gold Medal Threat. International intrigue, snappy dialogue and rich settings combine to make this book your next best read." Adult & Children's book author, Nicky Testaforte.
