Death at the End Zone by Lynn Slaughter

Two outstanding scholar athletes end up dead in the end zone of the football field they dominated.  Detective Caitlin O’Connor, and partner Stan catch the case. Things in the two detectives' lives complicate solving the case.

Slaughter addresses a lot of different issues in her book.  Relationship issues for both Caitlin and Stan, mutually exclusive relationships, add stress to an already stressful case.  A major problem with the case is an excess of persons of interest. 

 

Slaughter addresses alcoholism and the inherent dangers that accompany an occasionally dangerous career.  Homophobic reactions to otherwise “normal” crimes contribute to the complexity of the case.

 

Pedophiles, drug dealers, gun dealers, small needy boys, big needy boys, and needy men are all factors in the case.

 

It was a good book and a good story. I recommend it.
