Book Summary
Dr. Andrew Beck is the go-to sports psychologist for troubled pro athletes.
There isn’t a head he can’t fix—except his own.

When his inner demons get the best of him, he misuses his insider access to athletes in a wager, which leads him down a path of blackmail, murder, and life-or-death bluffing.

His only way out is to go ALL-IN.
