A few weeks ago I pretended to my long-suffering girlfriend, AZ, that I didn't already know the score in the USA-Czech Republic World Cup game, which I did. I accidentally saw the half-time score on one of those internet pop-ups. When we watched the recorded game later, I pretended to get all excited and disgusted at the right moments. AZ didn't tell me she knew the score too. We were both playing the same daft game. Apparently she was driving and "saw the score on a TV bar screen." A likely story. Ah, the beautiful game.
...is Part Two of a trilogy of novels by Matt Fullerty (American X Trilogy). The first is about infamous art forger and conman Elmyr De Hoyr, the second about thief, athlete and Princeton wannabe James Hogue, and the last is about...me, an "immigrant's tale"! Please see www.mattfullerty.com for my other biography / crime novels. Thank you!
