American junior football, as we call it in the UK, the domain of the soccer mum. Francesca is a recently widowed mother, bobbing around on the dangerous currents of jealousy and ambition. When her son's soccer coach is murdered she becomes a suspect. As detectives focus in on her and her family, a murky world of corruption and abuse of power is revealed. A tirumisu of a book, dark with flavour and deftly assembled.
