In the deep zone, even the very best player can find it impossible to beat a foe whoÕs hungry and waiting. . . .

Troy White can predict a play before it happens. Star quarterback on his state football team, TroyÕs a natural for the 7-on-7 tournament thatÕs being held at the Super Bowl in Miami. With any luck, his Òfootball geniusÓ will also be working for the Atlanta Falcons on that big day.

Ty Lewis is a wide receiver with exceptional speed. His brother, an NFL star, says getting on a 7-on-7 team will prove TyÕs a winner.

From the moment the two football champs cross paths, Troy and Ty begin to size each other up. Troy is suspicious of TyÕs interest in his friend Tate, while Ty worries his speed will never be a match for TroyÕs game smarts. But when the two rivals find themselves somehow tangled in the same dangerous web of deceit, they discover that they have more in common than their skill at football.

Uniting Troy, first seen in the New York Times bestselling Football Genius, and Ty, who was chased by the Mafia in Football Hero, Tim GreenÕs Deep Zone delivers it allÑvivid settings, dynamic characters, and high-stakes action on and off the field.
