After moving on from the mean, violent streets of Los Angeles, retired sheriff's sergeant Tom Parker continues on with his International Private Investigations Agency and his refurbished rose-colored hotel on the beach in the Marianas Islands. Tom's partner is strongman Carlos Montano, Chamorro warrior, and together, they investigate a series of murders, kidnappings, frauds and assassinations, in locales as far away as the Philippines Islands. Tom still enjoys a "high" when he hears the clicking sounds of applied handcuffs to bad-ass suspects. Tom married his hotel manager, Cocina, and Carlos married the Chinese translator, Daisy. They cross paths with dozens of beautiful ladies and so far, have resisted other feminine wiles. Tom is still trying to master sail-boarding and belly boards, and finds great success in fishing in the northern islands with his two brothers. Tom and Carlos investigate a series of crazy and wild PI cases, including cases with Whitey the Tiger, and Leo the Bull. They're still in good stead with the professional police commissioner, but not so with her dopey cops. Be ready for some exciting and interesting adventures, and political intrigue, interlaced with romance and full moons.

This is the first book in English to closely examine the life of Diego Maradona from socio-cultural perspectives, exploring how his status as an icon, a popular sporting hero, and a political figurehead has been culturally constructed, reproduced, and manipulated. The volume looks at representations of Maradona across a wide variety of media, including literature, cinema, popular music, printed and online press, and radio, and in different countries around the world, to cast new light on topics such as the instrumentality of sporting heroes and the links among sport, nationalism, and ideology. It shows how the life of Maradona – from his origins in the barrio through to his rise to god-like status in Naples and as a postcolonial symbol of courage and resistance against imperial powers across the global south, alongside scandal and his fall from grace – powerfully illustrates themes such as the dynamics of gender, justice, and affect that underpin the study of sport, culture, and society. This is essential reading for anybody with an interest in football, sport studies, media studies, cultural studies, or sociology.
