The Second Burning: A Football Weekend Thriller - Paperback

Schreck, Tom: - Tom Schreck is the author of the Duffy Dombrowski mystery series, which has hit #1 on Amazon in Hard-Boiled Mysteries, Sports Fiction, and Boxing. His work blends crime, boxing, humor, and redemption-often featuring characters who throw a decent right hand but are still trying to figure out life.A graduate of the University of Notre Dame, Tom once served as head of the Notre Dame Karate Club and lived in Alumni Hall, which means he still considers Dillon Hall a rival dorm and reserves the right to boo them on principle. His time at Notre Dame continues to inspire the setting and spirit of many of his stories.Outside of writing, Tom has had a long career in human services and teaching and is also a professional boxing judge, which explains why many of his characters spend time around gyms, rings, and people who solve problems the old-fashioned way.He lives in Albany, New York, with his wife Sue, a rotating cast of dogs and cats, and an ever-growing collection of boxing books, guitars, and Notre Dame memorabilia.If you see him around South Bend on a football weekend, there's a good chance he's either researching a mystery...or arguing with someone from Dillon Hall.
