About the authors:

Nationally bestselling, Edgar Award-winning author Eli Cranor lives and writes from the banks of Lake Dardanelle where he is the writer-in-residence at Arkansas Tech University in Russellville.

Seth Wickersham is a senior writer at ESPN and the New York Times bestselling author of It’s Better to Be Feared: The New England Patriots Dynasty and the Pursuit of Greatness. Focusing primarily on long-form enterprise and investigative work on the National Football League, Wickersham has been a finalist for the National Magazine Award for Reporting, and his stories have been anthologized in The Best American Magazine Writing, The Best American Sports Writing, and Next Wave: America’s New Generation of Great Literary Journalists, among others. He lives in Connecticut with his family.

About the books:

In Mississippi Blue 42, former quarterback turned author Eli Cranor throws a glorious game winner in this series debut starring a rookie FBI agent who finds herself caught in the tangled web of a college football empire—and the bloody greed that fuels it.

The quarterback is the American equivalent of royalty: long glamorized, mythologized, and worshipped. As an inside look into a uniquely American job and a uniquely American obsession with football, American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback is a must-read for sports fans and anyone who wants to understand what the price of ambition tells us about the quest for achievement and status.
