Madness of March, Burt Golden, mystery

In this exciting mystery novel, all high-school basketball coach Conrad Byrnes wants is to be a winner, and with the help of mind-power course Winning Dynamics he has some success. But when his big break arrives on his doorstep, amidst shady shoe contracts, gambling casinos and disappearing coaches, Byrnes finds out how much he might have to lose to win it all.

As a college basketball coach, Burt Golden knew the upsides and downsides of the rough-and-tumble game like the back of his hand. As a sportswriter for the Los Angeles Examiner, the Spanish-language newspaper La Opinion, and the Japanese-language newspaper Rafu Shimpo, he learned to turn the game into an adventure. His novel Madness of March combines these two passions, matching the inner workings of high-pressure sports with a natural talent as a mystery writer.
