The Crown Athletic Files — Book One
Written by Elaine Rose
They called them golden boys. The ledger called them collateral.
In Granite Ridge, high school football isn't just a game. It's a multimillion-dollar industry built on secrets, power, and the exploitation of young athletes.
When star swimmer Jason Esposito dies in a mysterious car crash, his sister Sarah refuses to believe the official story. Armed with Jason's hidden archive, she begins uncovering a disturbing system of forced medical waivers, financial manipulation, and athletes treated as corporate assets.
With help from former athlete Dion and data analyst Thomas, Sarah follows a trail of corruption that reaches far beyond the stadium.
The deeper they dig, the more dangerous the truth becomes.
