Produktbeschreibung
Dylan Rhea's life is a mess, and it just keeps getting worse. He retired from Kingsbury Town Football Club in disgrace, his girlfriend threw him out, and now he's running his father's non-league football club into the ground. He's a miserable failure and it doesn't seem that things will ever turn around. Until Penny Adams arrives on his doorstep with a strange request. Penny doesn't want to be in north London with a pick-axe in her duffle bag and only enough money to last four days. But she has a job to do, and she wants to get it over with as soon as possible. Because then she can go back to Indiana and get her life back on track. By a miracle, Dylan lets her dig. And as Penny keeps digging, remarkable things begin happening. Dylan's team starts winning, and against all odds, keeps winning. Is this the invisible hand of a long-dead queen, or just a series of extraordinary coincidences? But there are powerful forces who don't want Dylan to keep winning, and they want Penny out of the way as well. How long will Dylan and Penny's luck hold out?
Autorenporträt
Marina Reznor lives with her rugby-player husband and their two Labradors in Birmingham, Alabama. She became interested in English Premier League football (or soccer as she occasionally slips up saying) when American television began broadcasting matches and she realized there were almost no commercials. Impressed by the players' agility and stamina, Marina began following their exploits off the field. As fiction authors know, the start of a good book often begins with "I wonder what would happen if..." From the first chapters of her first book, Fowled, the characters formed themselves and wrote their own story. Marina swears she just wrote it down as it happened. In the course of researching English football, Marina fell in love with Hendon Football Club, a semi-professional club based in West Hendon, in the London Borough of Brent. The Kingsbury Town Football Club series is dedicated to their spirit.
