About this audiobook
New York Times bestselling sportswriter John Feinstein investigates a covert op at the Army-Navy football game in this exciting sports mystery.
The Black Knights of Army and the Midshipmen of Navy have met on the football field since 1890, and it's a rivalry like no other, filled with tradition.
Teen sports reporters Stevie and Susan Carol have been busy at West Point and Annapolis, getting to know the players and coaches-and the Secret Service agents. Since the president will be attending the game, security will be tighter than tight. Weeks and months have been spent on training and planning and reporting to get them all to this moment. But when game day arrives, the refs aren't the only ones crying foul. . . .
John Feinstein has been praised as "the best writer of sports books in America today" (The Boston Globe), and he proves it again in this fast-paced novel.
From the Hardcover edition.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I enjoyed this book once I figured out the flash-backs. Those really should have been given a sub-title to the chapter: "3 days previously" (or something like that).But once that was figured out, I did enjoy this mystery. It reminded me a lot of the Nancy Drew mysteries I read as a kid. The good guys were always good. The bad guys were bad ("And we would've gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids and that dog!" Scooby-Doo reference there :). But just like Nancy, Bess and George, Susan Carol and Stevie were very mature for their age, incredibly responsible, and never let their emotions get the best of them (typical 14-year-old, right?). It was a feel-good mystery.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Stevie and Susan Carol return in their 5th book. They must now save the Army-Navy game from a gambling officiating crew.
