Guest Reviewer – Ian Brown
This is a powerful book about the culture of American football heroes although it could be set anywhere and based on any sport.
Death Mask starts with a young bride about to marry Brett, her boyfriend and a major football star. Hannah, a virgin, has saved herself for her wedding night but ends up contracting multiple sexually transmitted diseases.
When a woman is raped by five major football players no one believes her despite all the evidence. It causes a major scandal and the media and fans blame her.
Dr Anya Crichton, a forensic and sexual assault expert, is asked to get involved by the team managers. As she investigates further she uncovers a history of violence and abuse that she could not have imagined.
With the help of private investigator Ethan, they attempt to find the truth.
Death Mask is a fast paced thriller that is hard to put down. You never know what is about to happen. Highly recommended.
