About Keep Possession
What if the missing original World Cup trophy, stolen from its bullet-proof case in Brazil in 1983, resurfaced today and was now intended as a bribe to secure tournament hosting rights in the geopolitics of World Cup soccer? Jack McDonald is a reformed soccer hooligan, a man who rose above his brutal adolescence, climbing all the way to a staff job in the West Wing of the White House. But an East Room incident revives his violent past. As a consequence, Jack is forced to work undercover to reveal the corruption behind the suspicious World Cup bid of a Middle Eastern country, whose secret deal with the President of the United States threatens to be uncovered. Rooted in the true history, Drew Leiden's thriller Keep Possession will take you on a quest for the trophy: Mussolini conspired for it; Hitler searched for it; billions of fans chanted for it, while thieves lurked in the shadows in 1966 London and 1983 Brazil. Think you know the world's game?
