The Penalty
Mal Peet
The Penalty
Mal Peet
"Peet's prose is both lyrical and unflinching. . . . A bold exploration of ageless themes of power, fame, love, and trust, all seen through the deceptive lens of modern celebrity culture." -- Booklist
As the city of San Juan pulses to summer's sluggish beat, its teenage soccer prodigy, El Brujito, the Little Magician, vanishes without a trace--right after he misses a penalty kick and loses a big game for his team. Sports reporter Paul Faustino is reluctantly drawn into the mystery of the athlete's disappearance and, as a story of corruption and murder unfolds, must confront the bitter history of slavery and the power of the occult.
