Everyone knows that football is a matter of life and death.

This time, however, it's about murder.

Scott Manson, the hero of Philip Kerr's new novel series, is an assistant coach for the London City football team.
He is also the man who takes care of everything: he directs the players in training and identifies their problems in time, keeps their wives at a distance, and has journalists in his pocket. The players adore him, the bosses trust him. When the coach of London City is murdered at the home of his beloved team, at Silvertown Dock, Scott Manson will transform into a detective and take on the task of finding the killer before he strikes again.

The first novel in an exciting new series by the famous crime writer unfolds against the backdrop of the glamorous and corrupt football world of the Premier League.
