Publisher's Synopsis
A record-setting wide receiver for the fictional New England Pirates is pissed off because they didn't re-sign him after winning the Super Bowl. Acting on equal parts inspiration and frustration, Whitey slips the maître d' at a fancy French restaurant a hundred-dollar bill to connect him with a local gangster nicknamed "the Mayor of Somerville." Their first meeting-at a sleazy rundown motel, Route 1 in Danvers-launches the plan to blow up the legendary Fox Bowl, home of the world-champion Pirates. What could possibly go wrong? This rollicking and hilarious novel is co-written by an award-winning radio broadcaster from Vermont and an award-winning journalist from Massachusetts. Filled with witty dialogue, the lively narrative has more dodges and weaves than an eighty-yard run down field and into the end zone.
