Paybacks (Paperback)

Disillusioned Vince Moriorti, a young sports reporter, retells the most powerful story of his career. He writes about Coach Turner, the intense and successful Waubee Lake High School basketball coach, who is desperately chasing one last championship. Drinking, womanizing, drug use and murder all come together when Coach Turner loses the respect of his son, as well as the only woman he ever loved. Moriorti's story reminds us that success cannot be measured in wins and losses, that life off the court can be more brutal and twisted than the most complex offense. Will Coach Turner's final season win back the love of his family, or will he untimely be defeated by his reckless need for Paybacks?
