Athletic agent Dave Bolt, former star for the Dallas Cowboys, is a hardened sports insider, familiar with the dirty underside of American professional sports. He witnesses the kickbacks, the bribes and the blackmail that keep the high-powered industry spinning.
Bolt has to deal with an explosive ice hockey scandal that threatens to expose the sport's biggest game as a sham. Former Black Hawk goalie, Guy LeClede, writes an expose of the corruption that "would blow hockey off the ice" if published.
Before the book is seen by anyone else, LeClede suddenly drives his car off a cliff and the manuscript disappears. Now the NHL is asking Bolt to investigate the possibility of murder and unravel the intricacies of one of the priciest gambling deals of the decade.
