Summary: Cover-up is a great book about a teenage news reporter on TV named Stevie. He gets fired from his job with his girlfriend, Susan Carol, just before they are supposed to go to the Super Bowl to broadcast. He decides to take the offer to go to the Super Bowl with the local newspaper with a friend of the family. While at the Super Bowl, the director of a major television corporation asks Stevie to help him cover the Super Bowl. One night at a party, Susan Carol gets approached by a very drunk doctor for the Los Angeles Dreams. While he is talking to Susan Carol and trying to impress her, he suggests that the entire offensive line for the Dreams tested positive for HGH and the owner is covering it up. They seek help from one of the Dreams’ own players to figure out what to do. Will they tell the NFL about the cover-up or let the Dreams get away with it?
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I would give this book a five-star rating because I really enjoyed the mystery. I think a lot of guys would like this book, mainly because of the football. I loved how John Feinstein makes you feel as if you are in the midst of the mystery, watching it all unfold.
I would recommend this book to guys and all football fans. This is a great mystery-filled book.
This book is the third book in a trilogy with Stevie and Susan Carol. The first two books are: Last Shot and Vanishing Act.

This book seems really good! I read a book about a year ago that was also a great football book if you are interested. This is Football Genius by Tim Green. I do have one question about the book. Why would the doctor reveal that they were using illegal substances? Wouldn't the team get mad and punish him? Other than that, it seems like a great book.
