Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
High-powered corporate attorney Kate Millholland finds herself in the unfamiliar world of professional football when personal friend and Milwaukee Monarchs general manager Jeff Rendell asks her to help save the nearly bankrupt team. Millholland believes Rendell's only option is to accept an offer to move the team to L.A., but Jeff's father and team owner, Beau, is completely against it. With only 10 days before defaulting on an $18-million loan, time is of the essence. When Beau turns up dead, Millholland must juggle her professional interest in saving the team with her personal interest in saving Jeff, who is quickly targeted by police as the prime suspect. As Millholland struggles to come up with a solution, she must make sense of the motives that those close to Beau may have had for killing him. With series character Millholland, Hartzmark (Fatal Reaction) offers substance with excitement.

A stale entry into the Kate Milholland series,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rough Trade (Mass Market Paperback)
While Rough Trade is not awful (hence the three star review), the author has produced better books in the Kate Milholland series. Even though the slow-as-molasses subplot of who Kate loves FINALLY picks up a little steam, the main plot of the book is convoluted. It does not help that the author does not give us enough insight or background into the book's supporting characters. Perhaps she thinks because she kills most of them off that the reader will not care. While these are annoying flaws in the book, the series overall is enjoyable. As for this book, the author keeps up the speedy pace of a mystery thriller and obviously has done her homework about football team ownership and the corporate politics it involves. "Bitter Business" is a better read in the series, but "Rough Trade" will do for now.

Read this even if you hate football!,
This review is from: Rough Trade (Mass Market Paperback)
I love the smart, funny lawyer Kate Milholland and I especially loved this novel set in Milwaukee and Chicago. I didn't know anything about pro-football when I started it, and I was entertained as well as informed. The plot moves quickly, and I couldn't guess the ending. Hartzmark's characters are believable; I really felt "behind the scenes" in the sports world. I think this may be the best Kate Milholland mystery, but I would recommend them all!

Very good!!!,
By Grooce "grooce" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rough Trade (Mass Market Paperback)
After reading her previous novel which I liked but did not love, I wasn't sure about reading a new one. Now I'm glad I did!!! Not only did hot-shot lawyer Katie Millholand dump dumb Stephen Azorini this time but also she gets involved and solves a very interesting case.
