Just last week, Diversion also released Skip Bayless's unforgettable expose that tears the metallic blue shine off the legendary star, revealing the truth about 'America's Team' and its beloved head coach, Tom Landry.

From the hangover that led Jerry Jones to buy the team, to the wild ride of the Staubach era, in God's Coach: The Hymns, Hype, and Hypocrisy of Tom Landry's Cowboys, Bayless strips away the image of the team created by the most powerful PR machine in sports, revealed by insiders willing to break their silence. 

Packed with unparalleled insight into one of the most storied franchises in the history of sports, God's Coach is a compelling revelation about a corrupt football franchise that dared call itself America’s Team.

Skip Bayless appears daily as the host of ESPN’s First Take; his commentary appears regularly on ESPN.com. A former columnist for the Dallas Morning News, Dallas Times Herald, Chicago Tribune, and San Jose Mercury News, and sportswriter for the Los Angeles Times and Miami Herald. In addition to God’s Coach, he is the author of The Boys and Hell-Bent.

Also, for all you thriller buffs, keep an eye out for Martin J. Smith's up-and-coming title The Disappeared Girl, due to release March 4. 

Memory expert Jim Christensen returns in the fourth installment of Martin J. Smith's gripping series.

 When Christiensen's adopted daughter, Melissa, starts having dreams that feel more like memories, his work as an expert on memory makes him the ideal candidate to help her sort through the mysteries of her past. But will he really want to learn the truth about her history?

This dizzying novel of suspense takes the reader back into a dirty war and its human costs, into the fevered mind of one of its survivors, and through the crosshairs of a man desperate to keep his own history vanished.
