He took a knee for social justice. Now he's dead.
Controversial quarterback Jimmy Rydell's body was found naked - on the Central Park carousel. Who killed him? How did he get there two days after he disappeared? . . . And why was the body frozen?
Jimmy's team just wants to move on, after collecting on the $20 million insurance policy. Jimmy's teammate - the one who threatened to kill him - swears he wasn't there. Jimmy's bodyguard had the night off. Somebody is going down for this if NYPD homicide detectives Mike Stoneman and Jason Dickson can find a theory that explains all the bizarre facts. They just hope the case doesn't tear the team, and the City, apart first.
A fully stand-alone story and part of the Mike Stoneman Thriller Series.

Chanticleer Book Reviews
"Football, love, racism, and murder are the subjects of interest Kevin G. Chapman uses in his latest crime novel, Fatal Infraction. Racial tension, throwing the game, and a love triangle all play a part in why the team's controversial quarterback, Jimmy Rydell is dead. NYPD homicide detective Mike Stoneman and his partner, Jason Dickson, put their personal lives on hold after Rydell's body turns up frozen in New York City's Central Park. Who hated Jimmy enough to end his life? Readers soon find out what made the quarterback a possible target. . . .
Chapman's style of storytelling and his extraordinary attention to detail in this present-day crime novel leaves no topic unturned before the murder of famous quarterback Jimmy Rydell is put to rest. The dialogue and prose of this intense crime novel resonate with authenticity and a style all its own. In short, Fatal Infraction will capture readers' attention from the beginning to the end - with no timeouts. ~ Chanticleer Book Reviews
Midwest Book Review
“Readers of police procedurals and crime stories will find Fatal Infraction just the ticket for an engrossing whodunit read. . . . The action is swift and the police investigation nicely done, but it's the reader with an interest in football, team politics and processes, and the sport's interplay with other influencers who will find this story particularly compelling. . . . The action is fast-paced, the investigative logic impeccable, and the unexpected twists and turns of story are nicely done. All this brings readers on a roller coaster ride of possibilities and emotions that form the controversies and ultimate outcome of Jimmy's life and death. Along the way, Mike learns some lessons about racism from his Black partner.”

“The action starts on the first page of this whodunit that will leave readers questioning everything until the very end. Mike and Jason are awesome characters who really work well together, and going on a journey with them is one hell of a roller coaster ride! . . . The plot moves at a brisk pace and the character arcs are spot on. Kevin G. Chapman definitely has a knack for writing a good solid, mystery that has a lot of twists and turns. Mike and Jason will most definitely be gracing a lot of e-readers this summer. Do not pass this one by, there are so many aspects that fans of different genres will enjoy!”
