Last Shot: A Final Four Mystery (Final Four Mysteries) by John Feinstein - Last Shot

Steven Thomas is one of two lucky winners of the U.S. Basketball Writer's Association's contest for aspiring journalists. His prize? A trip to New Orleans and a coveted press pass for the Final Four. It's a basketball junkie's dream come true!
But the games going on behind the scenes between the coaches, the players, the media, the money-men, and the fans turn out to be even more fiercely competitive than those on the court. Steven and his fellow winner, Susan Carol Anderson, are nosing around the Superdome and overhear what sounds like a threat to throw the championship game. Now they have just 48 hours to figure out who is blackmailing one of MSU's star players . . . and why.

Last Shot
John Feinstein is a sports reporter in real life and translates that into one of his finest pieces of literature titled The Last Shot. In this book, John Feinstein explains how trouble strikes the NCAA Basketball Tournament. He dives deep into elaboration and explains very profound details of someone who is being framed for something that could change their life.

Feinstein is currently a reporter for "The Sports Reporters" and a columnist for Chapin Times and the Washington Post. Feinstein not only writes for a living, but is a professor at Duke University in the Journalism department as well. In his recent books like Cover up and Season on the Brink he brings out his inner sports fanatic and is rewarded with his books being top selling ones.

The author of this book accomplishes his goal by putting you in the human position of someone of witnesses a framing and becomes apart of the solution rather than the problem. With Feinstein being a writer himself, he clearly puts his love for being a journalist into the book because the whole point of this book is a kid winning a chance to be a journalist at the NCAA tournament which seemed to be one of his dreams as a child.

The strengths of this book are the fact that Feinstein also sticks to the perspective of one character instead of putting you into confuse-mode by sifting around from character to character. Another strength would be that he goes through the book in chronological order instead of having flashbacks every 5 pages like some books do. One weakness about this book is the fact that the characters and time moves by so quickly that you would get lost skimming through this book. Keeping focus and keeping interest in the topic will get you through this book with ease. I recommend this book to anyone who has a passion for sports and loves mystery
