This link is to a book that found its way to me during the holiday season. It is referee related (one gets murdered, so that is not really good for us referees) and soccer related as well. It is set in Southern California in 2006 so there is a housing bubble to contend with as well as a financial crisis. All in all, it is a fun read and you learn a lot along the way about soccer, the laws of the game and their origins, the various locations and many other things. I thought it was well written and thoroughly researched. The main character is very believable and so are the rest of the characters in the story. If you are on the lookout for a good read this book should be able to hold your interest and then some.
