Big Shield - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

There’s no such thing as easy money.

Carson Jeffrey thought otherwise. It allowed him to supplement his pay as a third-string pro quarterback with cash from the mob for providing inside information before and during games.

The plan worked until it didn’t. Cut by his team in Las Vegas, Jeffrey faces intense pressure to find a new place to keep doing his other job. When he lands with a new team in Baltimore, he meets a prosecutor with the brains to figure out what he’s doing — and the power to put him behind bars.

Caught between threats to his liberty and to his life, Carson Jeffrey has to make some important decisions. And to potentially accept some serious consequences.

Big Shield is a cautionary tale for pro sports in an age of normalized gambling and instant wagering. Players know things that bettors don’t. Those players can be corrupted by the lure of easy money.

Even if there’s no such thing as easy money.
