Who is murdering the Eastern States Football League officials in Vanmer, Pennsylvania? And why is the killer using Vanmer Vipers’ helmets as murder weapons? Johnny Knight, photojournalist for the Independent, takes on one of the most dangerous jobs and responsibilities he has ever attempted. As he begins to unravel clues about the Helmet Killer murders, he uncovers a gambling ring involving numerous Viper players and a real estate mogul with a town full of secrets. And what about the missing money from the first victim, a whopping nine hundred thousand dollars? Is a Viper footballer paying off his steep gambling debts by murdering well-to-do officials? Along the way, Johnny falls in love with two very attractive and different men -- the sexy owner of McMuscles Gym, Matthew McDestin, and the jockish running back for the Vanmer Vipers, Beckley Roarke. Both have a piece of Johnny's heart, and both really don't want to share Johnny. So what's a detective to do when he's seeing two hotties at the same time? Can Johnny piece together the puzzle of murder and bring the Helmet Killer to justice, putting Vanmer at peace again?

Double Coverage

Jodi Mitchell, a news reporter for WTVC, arrived at the scene in a white van with her team. She and a frumpy cameraman jumped out of the van and Jodi started interviewing Jaymar while the frumpy cameraman filmed the scene. In the process, the two interrupted Kyle Mestner’s work, pissing him off. Mestner yelled at Jodi, “Keep back! Out of the way, Jodi! You know the rules and how I work!”


I took a few more shots of Jaymar as he was being placed in the backseat of Mestner’s cruiser. He grinned like a crazy motherfucker, showing off a gold tooth. If the sonofabitch wasn’t cuffed, he probably would have waved at me.
