On the football-obsessed campus of Notre Dame, Marcus
Bramble, a wealthy alum with an unhealthy passion for the
sport, says he'll contribute $10 million if it's put
toward a memorial to Knute Rockne, the university's
legendary football coach. When Madeline Rune, a Notre Dame
trustee, is found dead after disparaging remarks about the
donation, Bramble, along with Madeline's womanizing
husband, is suspected of foul play. But when her husband
also turns up dead, the case becomes more impossible than
a Hail Mary.
As detective Philip Knight and his brother, brilliant
philosophy professor Roger Knight, scour the campus for a
killer, they're caught in a high-stakes scrimmage between
the mega-bucks donor determined to resurrect Knute Rockne
and the Notre Dame academia, dead-set on burying football
for good. And in between this bitter campus infighting,
the brothers must prevent the murderer's next play before
football becomes the ultimate blood sport...
