Mike Florio, the guy who keeps us updated on every single NFL twist, is dropping a wild new book, *Accessory After The Fact*, next summer. This isn’t just another breakdown of player contracts or coaching changes; we’re talking about a full-on thriller where a former pro football player finds himself knee-deep in a murder case, and get this: he’s hiding an escaped ex-teammate in his house. Talk about high stakes!
When Your Post-Football Life Gets Real Wild
Seriously, imagine your post-career life. For the main character in Florio’s new novel, it’s law school, then landing a gig at a Pittsburgh law firm. Sounds kinda normal, right? Nope. Day one, he gets home and BAM, there’s a former teammate who’s busted out of prison chilling in his house. The very next morning, he’s assigned to assist on a high-profile murder case. You can’t make this stuff up, except Florio totally did! What kind of tangled web is this dude gonna weave to keep his ex-teammate a secret while navigating a murder investigation? My head is already spinning just thinking about it. This has gotta be some serious legal drama mixed with football grit.
Florio’s Secret Side Hustle Just Blew Up
Turns out, Florio didn’t just wake up one day and decide to pen a fictional thriller. He actually started cranking out novels during the first year of the pandemic when the NFL basically hit the brakes after the draft. All that free time, and he used it to get creative! He’s already got two other ebooks out there, *Father of Mine* and *Son of Mine*, both just 99 cents if you wanna check them out, plus a nonfiction joint called *Playmakers*. But with *Accessory After The Fact*, published by Crooked Lane Books, he’s taking full control, from the content to the cover. This is his baby, his vision, and it could be the first in a whole series. Oh, and he’s apparently got seven or eight other books generally ready to go. Dude’s been busy!
So, yeah, forget the usual game film breakdown for a minute. We’ve got *Accessory After The Fact* hitting shelves next summer, and if this first book takes off, we’re looking at a whole new universe of football-adjacent mystery. You know I’m gonna be checking it out. What a wild ride to look forward to!
