False Alarm
a novel by Heather Drohan
Heather Drohan imbues the Jerry McGuire-esque world of sports agents with the heartfelt ironies of a young Anne Tyler. As her character Kate McCabe struggles to "trap a mink," that is, to sign a star gootball player without falling for his Latino charm, Drohan paints a droll picture of San Franciscans at the millenium. False Alarm rings all the right bells.
