Success comes with risk and a high price in this thrilling standalone football novel from New York Times bestselling author and former NFL player Tim Green. Perfect for fans of Mike Lupica.
Ever since Ty Lewis was orphaned and forced to stay with his legal guardian, Uncle Gus, he's always wanted to prove how fast he is on a football field and be like his older brother, Thane Tiger Lewis, who's about to graduate from college--and is being courted by the NFL.
But instead of playing football, he's scrubbing bathrooms after school for his uncle's cleaning service. Thane is the only bright spot in Ty's life. And now Uncle Gus wants to use Ty to get to him and obtain valuable insider information for a local mob boss called Lucy and his gambling ring.
Can Ty break free to save not only Thane's football career, but his life?
- Stories About Brothers: Ty idolizes his older brother, Thane, an NFL prospect. But when their family bond is twisted for criminal gain, Ty has to protect the one person he has left.
- Overcoming Adversity: From scrubbing toilets to facing down bullies on the field, Ty refuses to give up on his dream of playing football, no matter the odds.
- High-Stakes Thriller: Caught between a ruthless mob boss and his manipulative uncle, Ty is forced to gather secret information that could destroy everything his brother has worked for.
- Family Drama: When the only family you have is the one trying to exploit you, where do you turn? Ty must navigate the dark secrets of his new life with his Uncle Gus.
