Last Shot: Mystery at the Final Four (The Sports Beat, 1)
New York Times bestselling sportswriter John Feinstein exposes the real “March Madness”—behind the scenes at the Final Four basketball tournament.
When Stevie wins a writing contest for aspiring sports journalists, his prize is a press pass to the Final Four in New Orleans. While exploring the Superdome, he overhears a plot to throw the championship game. With the help of fellow contest winner Susan Carol, Stevie has just 48 hours to figure out who is blackmailing one of the star players . . . and why.
John Feinstein has been praised as “the best writer of sports books in America today” (The Boston Globe), and he proves it again in this fast-paced novel.
“A page-turning thriller and a basketball junkie’s bonanza.” —USA Today

This is the first book of the children's mystery series by Feinstein. A read this along with my son who had to read it for school. The story is about 2 kids who win a writing contest and their prize is a trip to the NCAA final for where they will get press passes and write stories about the event. During their adventure, they overhear a conversation between a basketball player and a prominent member of the university. This conversation alters their whole trip and they spend the rest of the time trying to understand what it all meant. I have heard Feinstein on the radio and I am aware of other books he has written for adults. I really enjoyed the NCAA sports angle, since I am a big college basketball fan myself. I thought Feinstein did a good job writing at a level where young adults could relate. I also thought the book taught a valuable lesson. A lesson anybody could learn from. My son enjoyed the book and was able to take what he learned from it to complete an assignment.
