A Game of Inches

Rookie of the Year or Trial of the Century? Billy Hopper is bound to be defined by one of the two.

The wide receiver for the Los Angeles Lobos may have just fumbled his entire career when he wakes up one frigid March morning at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. with a dead girl beside him. The blood is literally on his hands.


Fortunately for Billy, D.C. lawyer Jack Patterson has plans to get to the bottom of the murder and right the football player's reputation. One thing stands in the way, however. Jack and his team are at war with a powerful, sinister man, and it's the people closest to Jack that stand in the line of fire. Can they solve the case before Jack's family is forced to pay the ultimate price?


This latest installment to the Jack Patterson series exposes the underbelly of the NFL and the role of big money in Shady D.C. politics, and believe it or not, murder is just the tip of the iceberg.
