Clark Cromwell is everybody's all-American: a fair-haired fullback, a reverent Christian but a tough player. He's a veritable poster boy for the NFL's flourishing religious movement. In contrast, Clark's teammate Trane Jones is the NFL's worst nightmare: the league's best running back, but with the personality of Dennis Rodman and the criminal record of a common street thug. Jones and Cromwell share nothing more than the same backfield. Until they share the same woman.Annie is ravishing and naive, as supple in spirit as she is in form, the answer to Clark Cromwell's prayers. As Clark oversees her transformation from a disappointed actress into a devout soul mate, their plan for happiness seems perfect. So when Annie inexplicably jumps from his bed to another, no one is surprised when her next resting place is a slab in the morgue.The murder weapon, a bloody golf club, is traced to Trane Jones, and only a promised favor to the team's owner can convince Madison McCall to defend the controversial running back. Besides the overwhelming evidence and Trane's history of violence, the case is clouded by an R-rated sneaker commercial featuring Jones as a misogynist killer. Testing her lifelong belief in the presumption of innocence, Madison digs into the case, only to find the next best suspect is...Clark Cromwell.
