The Lovereading comment:
Football mad boys and girls will devour this all-action adventure novel, virtually in a sitting. Hopefully, even the most reluctant reader, just like the author himself was at school, will devour it too. It’s part of Puffin’s ‘Football Detective’ series but each novel is a stand-alone title with each of them mixing the beautiful game with a crime that needs to be solved.
Shortlisted for the Blue Peter Award for the 'book I couldn't put down'.
Synopsis
Foul Play by Tom PalmerDanny is obsessed with two things: football, and investigating crimes. So when England and City footballing hero Sam Roberts is reported missing the day after Danny saw him being taken, blindfolded, into the bowels of the City FC stadium late at night, he's determined to get to the bottom of it. But is Danny getting into something he can't handle?

About The Author
Tom Palmer is a football fan and a writer. But he wasn't always good at writing. He did badly at school and hated reading, in particular, until he was seventeen. It was reading about football that changed his life. Because it was then he decided he wanted to become a football writer, so he could be paid for watching football and writing about it. It took a few years, but now he goes all over the world to watch football and sometimes he writes about it. Sometimes he just watches it.
He likes writing stories like Football Detective as much as writing about what happens in real games.
