What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
Playing for Position
Rick Dockery is an NFL quarterback who can’t catch a break. One huge mistake makes him a national laughing stock overnight, and no team will touch him.
Playing for Pizza
But all Rick knows is football, and he needs to find a team. Against all odds, Rick gets his break – as star quarterback for the Panthers… of Parma, Italy.
Playing for Pride
Rick doesn’t speak a word of Italian, and the crowds there aren’t exactly NFL-standard. But football americano is about more than fame, and home comes in the most unlikely of packages.

Critics Review
-
Grisham comes into his own. The man knows how to crank up the tension, we are soon on the edge of our seats. Read this book, enjoy it.
Daily Express -
Playing for Pizza is well plotted and shows Grisham’s gift for coming up with twists and appealing minor characters.
Sunday Times -
Playing for Pizza is a lyrical page-turner and a gasp-inducing reminder of the scope of this man’s genius with the written word. Grisham is something of a Da Vinci with words. He can blow your brains out with the power of truth or paint pictures that magically reveal the reality beneath. This is a smooth, satisfying and delightful read.
Sunday Express -
Grisham’s writing takes on an energy and precision in this amiable novel
