Mississippi Blue 42 (2025)
(FBI Special Agent Rae Johnson, book 1)
Eli Cranor
"Cranor's new novel channels Elmore Leonard through the world of dark money college football, as a newly minted FBI agent is assigned to track down a shadowy cabal in central Mississippi pouring dirty money into a football-obsessed community. Cranor's prose has never been sharper and he knows this world inside and out. This is quite likely the most fun you'll have with a crime book all year."
