´Gripping ... Bensinger´s impeccably sourced account serves as a sharp reminder of the gargantuan levels of largesse and excess during Fifa´s bad, bad days - as well as a warning that not enough has been done to prevent them returning.´ Sean Ingle, Guardian
´Bensinger deftly deploys novelistic devices to turn it into a real-life detective thriller ... [it] resembles John Grisham´ Private Eye
The story of FIFA´s fall from grace has it all: power, betrayal, revenge, sports stars, hustlers, corruption, sex and phenomenal quantities of money, all set against exotic locales stretching from Caribbean beaches to the formal staterooms of the Kremlin and the sun-blasted streets of Doha, Qatar.
In Red Card, investigative journalist Ken Bensinger takes a journey to FIFA´s dark heart. He introduces the flamboyant villains of the piece - the FIFA kingpins who flaunted their wealth in private jets and New York´s grandest skyscrapers - and the dogged team of American FBI and IRS agents, headed by Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who finally brought them to book. Providing fresh insights on a scandal which has gripped the world, he shows how greed and arrogance brought down the most powerful institution in sporting history.
A wild, gritty, gripping, and at times blackly comic story, Red Card combines world-class journalism with the pace of a thriller.
