“PAYDIRT” SCORES!

Football, Family at Heart
Of New Levine Caper

I’ve been a lifelong football fan.  The New York Giants as a boy.  Penn State Nittany Lions as a college student and thereafter.  The Dolphins when I moved to Miami, the city I like to call Gomorrah-by-the-Sea.

All that football got me to thinking.  The National Football League has a problem with violence.

I’m not talking about those helmet-to-helmet, concussion-inducing collisions.  I mean off-the-field violence against women, family members, even dogs.  Not to mention other crimes involving drugs, gambling, even Ponzi schemes.

You’ve seen the headlines.  So you know that a slew of former NFL players – from Hall of Famers O.J. Simpson and Lawrence Taylor – to anonymous benchwarmers, have run afoul of the law.

Currently, NFL players are in prison on charges of murder, robbery, conspiracy to kill a judge, intentionally driving a car into a group of teens, and a variety of drug charges, domestic abuse, and assaults.

That’s the backdrop behind “PAYDIRT,” my sizzling new Kindle caper with suspense, thrills, laughs, some football, and a touch of romance.  (That’s right.  A “Kindle caper.” Through a deal with Amazon, the novel is only available as a Kindle e-book priced for a short time at $2.99 and a trade paperback at $12.25).

Here’s the setup:

Bobby Gallagher has it all...and loses it.

Now, to reclaim his life...

All he has to do – with the help of his brainiac 12-year-old son – is rig the Super Bowl, win a huge bet...and avoid getting killed.
