Shoes to Kill - Hardcover

by Steven Lyle Penn (Author)

Shoes to Kill is about the case of a media mogul found murdered at the home of one of the nation s leading college basketball coaches during a nationally televised game. It plays on the State s and South s obsession with college sports, particularly basketball and football.

The protagonist, Detective Hatchell Breeze, seeking retribution for a previously botched and forgotten case involving the university football team, enthusiastically takes on the investigation and an inevitable confrontation with the powerful players of the state university once again.

This leads him to prostitution, illegal drugs, errant boosters, big business, university stonewalling, and the prominent men and women of college sports. As he tries to connect the two cases, he is reminded of his own bitter history with the university, forever embedded in his mind as his own life spins out of control.
