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?

What happened? Where was I? The last thing I remembered was having a few shots of whiskey in my kitchen, walking upstairs to take a piss, and entering my bathroom. I did recall spinning around and seeing a male figure behind me. The trespasser swung a Viper helmet in his right hand, banged it into my forehead, and knocked me out cold.


What day was it? What time of day was it? How long had I been trapped inside that vault-like place? Who had taken me there, and what for? Why was I only wearing my underwear? And who had taken the time out to meticulously bandage my head?
