Fourteenth in the China Bayles herbal mystery series set in the hill country of Texas in fictional Pecan Springs. This book takes on the issue of the importance of high school football in Texas, where coaches and players are gods and reign supreme and anyone standing in their way are bugs to be squashed. When an official at the local school receives an anonymous tip that the current Pecan Springs coach has a thing for teenage girls, she asks China to investigate on the sly and see if she can come up with any concrete evidence before the Golden Boy is accused openly--which could get very messy. China begins looking into things, and also discovers some disturbing information about her own past via some letters discovered when her father's secretary passes on. An enjoyable visit to Pecan Springs with China, Ruby, McQuaid and the gang.
