Blitzed and Buried - A Rookie a Body and the Hit No One Reviewed

J. K. Maddox

Synopsis

When rookie linebacker Jaden Knox collapses after a brutal preseason hit, the play is ruled legal. Clean. Just another collision in a game built on impact. But when the autopsy reveals signs of an injected stimulant—and footage from the field mysteriously disappears—Detective Eva Harlow is called in to ask the questions the franchise refuses to answer.
 
Coach Dan Clay thought he knew every inch of his team. But as pressure from the league and corporate sponsors intensifies, he begins to see the cracks forming from within—ones that might involve his own blood. Veteran linebacker Marcus “Grizz” Palmer walks off the field that day carrying more than bruises. Haunted by what he saw—and what he didn’t—he begins digging through silence, loyalty, and his own guilt to uncover a truth buried deep in the locker room.
 
As layers of deception unravel, the lines between loyalty and complicity blur. The deeper the investigation goes, the more it becomes clear: someone wanted Jaden to break. And someone made sure the cameras blinked when it happened.
 
In a system that demands silence, who dares to speak?
 
And when the final whistle blows—who walks off the field with blood on their hands?

especially by Edgar Allan Poe’s detective, Dupin, Eliza pieces together an array of clues to try to catch the killer, all the while juggling clients who begin to seem more and more suspicious. 
 
Eliza and Jean are determined not just to survive, but to find their way in a nascent town on the fringes of the Wild West—a bewitching combination of beauty and danger—as what will become the Civil War looms on the horizon. As  
Mrs. Parks says, “Everyone knows that this is a dangerous business, but between you and me, being a woman is a dangerous business, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.”
