Red Card (Paperback)

At the first U.S.-hosted World Cup, a package is delivered to German team manager Jens Steiner. Inside, Steiner finds one red and two yellow cards. Hours later, two of the team's hottest players are killed. Steiner realizes that in soccer the cards represent a dangerous foul in which the player is ousted from the game. Ejected players cannot be replaced--neither can dead ones.
