Lenny Goldstein & his company, Future Stars, evaluate high school and collegiate basketball talent and sell their rankings to colleges and NBA teams respectively.

From its humble beginnings in 1975, Future Stars had grown into a behemoth, with fifteen NBA teams and seventy-eight colleges paying subscriptions for his rankings.

Lenny is semi-retired these days, with his son and son-in-law running the business until he gets a call from an old buddy in Newport News, who wants him to come look at a high school kid , Lincoln Anderson in Emporia, Virginia. He believes everyone, including Future Stars, has overlooked this Anderson kid.

Concurrently, Lenny gets a call from an old buddy, the iconic coach of Duke University, to see what he knows about the college decision of Tyler Longenecker, Future Star's #5 ranked high school senior from a premier prep school in the tony Boston suburbs.

All seems to be going on script until graduation when both Lincoln and Tyler are involved with a death and a roofie rape. Suddenly, Lenny's getting calls about both kids.

Lincoln's family is related to James McNeil in Philly and they call him for help. James and his buddy, Detective Vernon Brown of the Philly PD, jump into the car and head South on I-95.

Can the two Sleuths from The Murder Gambit and The Phenom put these two puzzles together before college starts in September?

Once again, Author Frank Lazarus has produced a gripping, suspenseful story that will keep you off Netflix for a day or two.
