Dangerous Hoops: A Forensic Marketing Action Adventure

by D. Larry Crumbley, Fred H. Campbell, Thomas J. Karam, Peter A. Maresco

Overview

Part crime novel, part textbook, Dangerous Hoops combines the principles of marketing and forensic accounting into a lively narrative to educate and entertain.
Set in the world of professional sports, Dangerous Hoops introduces FBI agent Bill Douglass as he pursues a deadly extortionist in order to save lives -- and spare the NBA from a public relations nightmare. The adventurous storyline -- complete with demands for cash and diamonds, poisoned collectors' cards, and botched drop-offs -- also explores aspects of business and marketing with examples from the world of pro basketball.
Both innovative and educational, Dangerous Hoops provides real instruction in a novel form and serves as a refreshing text for business majors and MBA students.
