"Meet Mark Dolan, former major-league baseball player, now a freelance detective with a gift for extreme street combat and a history of stumbling headlong into trouble.Dolan’s story begins in New York, with a news report about yet another brand-name athlete accused of using drugs. Dolan takes the case and he crisscrosses America, asking questions nobody wants to answer.He is soon caught up in the world of big-time professional sports, where careers end with the prick of a syringe, star players earn millions for a 30-second sneaker commercial, Internet bookies risk billions each weekend, and whores and hustlers of every class scramble for a piece of the action.Along the way, Dolan runs into hired killers, loathsome villains, unforgettable women—and fresh reasons to question the character of his fellow man."
