Readers should be prepared for predictable plot twists and superficial characters. An unforgettable family drama by two writers at the top of their craft. More deaths follow as Jenny falls for someone she shouldn't, wrestles with fulfilling her father's wishes, and tries to find his killer while still coaching a high school football team. That rankles her two brothers, who've been running the team and the paper, respectively, and vow to resist her takeover by fighting dirty if necessary. Joe's will leaves her in charge of his chief assets: the Wolves, an NFL franchise (whose aging star quarterback is Jenny's ex-husband), and the Tribune newspaper. Her pursuit of that possibility comes as her life undergoes a dramatic shift. Given the number and power of Joe's many enemies, his daughter, Jenny, suspects her father was murdered.
