The Jook

• About the book

Zelmot Raines has slid a long way since his ability to jook, to out maneuver his opponents on the field, made him a Super Bowl-winner, earning him lucrative endorsement deals and legions of women. But Zee hasn't always been good at saying no, so a series of mishaps including drugs, a paternity suit and shaky investments. That is, until a new pro franchise, the Barons, gives him the chance to hit the bog time again. Just as it seems he might be getting back into the flow, he enraptured by Wilma, a leggy lawyer for the team who has a ruthless game plan of her own.
