by Bob Weltlich (Author)
When a boy, his mentor and his mother's boyfriend become involved in a Mafia sponsored scheme to fix college's national championship basketball game, the reader realizes for the first time the real possibility of a referee's involvement in making such a plan become a reality. This book illustrates how officials can impact and alter the outcome of athletic events and the ending of the book will surprise and delight the reader. After reading the Crooked Zebra, no longer will referees or games be looked upon in the same light as the author illustrates how simply such a scenario can be carried out. Of the millions of people to watch or attend athletic events each year, how many must on occasion question whether an official is cheating? This is a book for them to find out how that could happen, a story long overdue and a must read for any sport's fan.
