The Franchise
by Peter Gent
Villard/Random House, 1983
Peter Gent, a former wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, scored a literary touchdown with his first novel, North Dallas Forty, which was the basis for the hit 1979 movie directed by Ted Kotcheff and starring Nick Nolte and Mac Davis. A film adaptation of Gent's second novel, The Franchise, was announced but never produced.
