Sobre IBD

Seeing is believing. Or is it? We’ve witnessed college and professional sports become multibillion-dollar industries, but with a Pandora Box full of problems. The contests themselves often raise questions. How could he miss that layup? How could he drop such an easy pass? How could the ref rule it that way? Did the gamblers get to the referee? The questions stretch all the way to a small town, Harrison, deep in southern Indiana. The local college may not have a sports team in the big time, but the town’s proximity to a casino boat on the borderline Ohio River provides plenty of action for gamblers.The local Gamblers Anonymous chapter is the state’s newest and busiest. Surely, it’s the only one to have Abraham Lincoln rescue a member! This is the third novel in Mike Conklin’s Town & Gown series. The others, each set in mythical Harrison, are 'Transfer U.' and 'Class Dismissed.'
