Tony Williams is a star free safety for a professional football team, in addition to being a highly respected member of his community. All is going well until Tony, a happily married, non-philandering husband, publicly and firmly rejects the advances of a female fan. Furious at his refusal to sleep with her, the woman (also the daughter of Tony's pro football team owner) accuses him of assault and rape, eventually framing him for the crime. His life is thrown into an unimaginable tailspin. Tony calls on his two lifelong friends to help him clear his name: Adrian Christopher, also a popular football player, and Errol Forrest, Jr., a third-year law student. Together with an Interpol-affiliated Irishman, a mysterious Jamaican "soldier of fortune," and a committed defense attorney, the friends take their stand against the racially-charged accusations of rape by a prominent family. Forced to endure the pressure of a highly-publicized trial led by an ambitious young prosecutor, our heroes must uncover a mysterious threat lurking behind the scenes...but on whose orders? You will be immersed into the action-packed world of off-the-field professional football as well as the dangerous minefields of a potentially "rigged" trial, leading to a surprising and tragic confrontation.

Don’t let this book’s first three chapters fool you. Once the action begins in Chapter 4, it will not let up until the book’s surprising conclusion.
Whitfield Grant has written a surprisingly good thriller with Railroaded. His first novel, it is well-written and, except for the first three chapters, well-paced.
I am looking forward to the planned sequels to Railroaded. Whitfield Grant has a talent for writing thrillers that will only improve with experience. ( )
