Dwyer Murphy recommends

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."
