The third Paul Faustino novel by multi-award-winning Mal Peet. A massive soccer star has it all, but someone is plotting his downfall…

Revered as a national hero, married to the desirable Desmerelda, cherished by the media, soccer star, Otello, has it all. But a sensational club transfer sparks a media frenzy, and when he is wrongly implicated in a scandal, the footballer’s life turns into a tragic spiral of destruction. South America’s top sports journalist, Paul Faustino, witnesses the power of the media in making and breaking people’s lives.

Mal Peet’s first Paul Faustino novel, “Keeper”, was winner of the 2004 Branford Boase Award and the 2004 Bronze Nestle Smarties Book Award.
A dramatic, topical novel inspired by Shakespeare’s Othello which will appeal to both boys and girls with its themes of football and celebrity culture.
