Publisher Description
Football and the Flag
It's Texas in the 1980s. Football is king.
A gifted Black high school quarterback says he won't play varsity football because they carry the Confederate flag.
The town's reaction stuns Katy Williams, news editor at the local newspaper. And that of her staff as well. It ranges from indifference to the flag to outrage that anyone would challenge it at all. When five of the starting line follow Clay Peabody off the team, the situation turns explosive. And then, the police find a body hanging from the goal posts at South Plains City High School.
It's one of the players, and a note says, one down and six to go.... The sixth? Katy's newest reporter, Abe Law.
Book 2 in A Newspaper in Texas, a historical mystery series set in the 1980s.
