A Literary Sports
Novel that Breaks the Mold
This exhilarating
adventure artfully weaves three unlikely themes – soccer,
Christianity, and the mob – with an addictive flair.
World-class soccer
star Bobo Stoikov escapes from communist Bulgaria and, after a
long and dangerous trip, finds himself coaching a youth soccer
team. But he soon discovers that his newfound peace and
happiness is again in peril….
Bobo’s old nemesis
suddenly resurfaces, and is out to destroy the reputations of
Bobo, his best player Luca, and Luca’s father. But Bobo’s enemy
gets more than he bargained for when he finds out that Luca’s
family is not the type to mess with.
This thrilling and uplifting adventure tale is an enchanting mix
of sports, religion, and the underworld, and is a page-turner
until its very last moment.
