Sports are not just dexterity, strength, and skill. Sports are money. And big sports mean big money.
One of the most “wealthy” sports is boxing. Even if someone isn’t really in the know, and has never taken part—only watched and cheered on from TV—understands that big boxing covers massive streams of money. First and foremost, there are betting syndicates. That’s why, very often, the odds decide everything, not the professionalism of the athlete.
The main hero of the audiobook “The Mystery of Case No. 963” is a seasoned sports journalist. He knows all the ins and outs of sports, its backrooms—yet for a long time he couldn’t understand why things happen the way they do. Then facts come into his hands that prove boxing’s reputation as a sport is under threat. Now a lot depends on money, and the hero decides to stop it—though he still doesn’t understand what kind of game he has gotten himself into, or who is behind the massive schemes.
This is a real secret case of his whole life, and he plunges into the maelstrom of a fight against injustice, deception, and big money.
