IX Lives of the Vodoun Detective

Before he became a Metropolitan Police detective, Marty Range (aka the 'Vodoun Detective') labors as an investigator for the National Collegiate Athletic Association. While working out of its Overland Park, Kansas headquarters, the gumshoe receives an assignment to probe irregularities of a Division I athletic program in Washington D.C.. Preparing a preliminary letter of inquiry, the Haitian-American unveils a rash of extra-benefit infringements that violate the N.C.A.A. charter rules. As Range examines the soccer program at Federal District College, he finds circumstantial evidence of a global cartel that exploits scholarship athletes. Exploring the mysteries of stock mergers, team acquisitions, and the frontiers of exercise science, he uncovers pieces of a puzzle so appalling he can overlook it. Of a hidden, mutant superman gaining control of the world.
