World-class soccer star Bobo Stoikov makes an escape from communist Bulgaria and finds his way to America. Landing a job as a youth soccer coach, Bobo builds a reputation for himself as a successful, yet unorthodox, coach who propels his team to the championship title. But things go far beyond the soccer field when arch rival Sonny Christopher seeks to destroy Bobo's reputation, along with that of his best player and the player's father, Mario. Before he realizes how serious the situation is, Bobo finds himself in sudden death and soon realizes there is more at stake than just a soccer game. "Maccagnone writes...with rhythm, perfect pace, pauses, the right degree of detail, well described settings, and well developed credible characters." - Christian Mcallister, Rambles Fiction Review "The reader is kept on the edge of their seat from the beginning, with a daring jump from a train. Look for this book to win an award." - Mark F. Traupman, Author, Jesus - The Lost Message Garasamo Maccagnone has enjoyed writing since the age of sixteen. He is inspired by the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos, and Jack London, and is currently working on his next book, The Fish and the Fox.
