Shattered Pitches

Unmissable, gripping new thriller from inside the dark world of international football

There’s Evil Lurking in the Stands

“An intense thriller linking football to the resurgence of right wing extremism by an author who has straddled the worlds of international football and modern Germany society.” -- Tariq Panja, New York Times journalist

Racism has reared its ugly head across the globe, and the terraces are no exception.
When a young refugee is murdered in broad daylight, it seems like just another blot on the society -- a group of racist thugs with a grievance that went too far.
But when Annabelle Green is pulled into the chaos, she starts to unravel something far more sinister. As Germany approaches an anniversary that many would rather forget, one group -- the Eighty-Five -- is determined to ensure no one ever does.
Will Annabelle be able to uncover the truth in time, and if she does -- will she be able to stop it?
