Dead Ball
Murder, mystery, elite sports, guns, greed, special ops, mafia, and glamour? Dead Ball has it all! The story takes place on the hallowed grounds of AllSport, a sports facility that houses & trains inner city athletes who have shown professional potential in various sports. Before AllSport, many of these athletes lived in poverty. Many were members of street gangs. Combining these kids, the country’s top professional athletes, the finest training facility in the world, and big money, makes for a combustible mix. Cutthroat tactics abound and the high-stakes world of professional sports makes for a thrilling read. A brazen murder is committed and the list of suspects with plenty of motive is long. Then the body count grows. The sports world is one where all kinds of people come to play, not just the athletes, and the rules of the game are sometimes subject to dangerous interpretation. Is murder just another form of competition? Dead Ball is full-throttle action from the very first page!

5 stars – Balkind Does It Again!
Being a fan of Michael Balkind’s first book, Sudden Death, I waited with guarded anticipation for the next book in the Reid Clark series. Not many authors can deliver when following up on a great first offering. With Dead Ball, the author scores a hole-in-one. Reid Clark is back and better than ever. Finding a hero that you can root for, care about and live vicariously through is the pinnacle of what an author can create. Reid Clark is definitely that hero. Who could not root for a man who is a master at a major sport, international hero, constantly a step away from mortal danger and all around cool guy? All this wrapped in a fast paced page turner that will definitely keep you reading well into the night.

I enjoyed this book just as much as the first one. I wasn’t ready for it to end. How soon before we get the next book?

5 stars – Awwwwesome Mystery with Reid Clark
Michael Balkind has done it again. I picked up this book and never put it down. I love a good mystery and this was it. Reid Clark and his “team” always keep you on the edge of your seat. The best part though was the ending. It doesn’t get any better than this…until his next book!!! Keep them coming Michael!
