   Front Jacket Excerpt:   
   "Against the backdrop of a compelling courtroom drama with its own surprise   
   twists, Martin O'Malley has written an unforgettable and most conventional   
   hockey biography. GROSS MISCONDUCT is the story of Brian "Spinner"   
   Spencer's pursuit of that irresistible dream-the life of an NHL hockey   
   player-from its unlikely beginnings in Canada's backwoods to its gritty   
   aftermath at middle age. Its a journey in search of celebrity and success   
   that ended in tragedy. Spinner Spencer had a 10-year career in the NHL. He   
   played with brute force and instinct, his nickname "Spinner" a comment on   
   his skating style. After finishing his hockey career, Spencer drifted into   
   seedy obscurity-crashing with friends, dodging arrest warrants for drunk   
   driving. Then he achieved a different kind of notoriety: on the night of   
   January 18, 1987, he was arrested in Florida and charged with a murder that   
   had been committed five years earlier on an isolated dirt road in West Palm   
   Beach...In this gripping story, Martin O'Malley reveals the grim reality of   
   professional hockey and the tragic descent of Spinner Spencer."
