Can You Keep A Secret? is the first in a series of books called Friday Night Football: Western High School that chronicles a high school football team in the metro Detroit area. The series intends to focus on contemporary sports issues by discussing them intelligently in the context of an entertaining, yet realistic high school football environment. The author, Jeff Pine, wanted to portray a gritty and sometimes not always pretty picture of high school football without losing the respect for the game and the individuals who play and coach it. If you're looking for Gil Thorp, this is NOT the book for you. This novel chronicles three gripping stories: the first focuses on your all-American running back, Steve Dentry, who has a family secret to hide; the second exposes two upperclassmen, Tony Sharp and Jeff Iaonucci, who cut corners to get stronger by taking steroids; and the third is about the new senior quarterback, Ty Rogers, who has never started a game at QB in his high school career. Watch the Western High Eagles as they emerge under the tutelage of new, young, and energetic Coach Fisher from perennial doormats to a possible playoff contender. Intended for mature readers over 16 years old.

Groomed. Gaslighted. Ghosted. They thought they'd found their soulmate. They had no idea he was spying on them. These five motivated, independent women each thought they'd met their perfect partner - someone who shared their values, ambitions and goals. But after a while, in some cases years later, the men started to behave strangely. They disappeared for weeks at a time, saying they needed to go away to clear their heads. Small details about their lives didn't quite fit. Then they vanished, leaving a note saying that the relationship was over. These men were undercover police officers, who had targeted the women for their links to activist groups. They took the identities of dead children and carried fake passports and driving licences. They were all married, some with children. They had been working from a set of guidelines and were all using the same manipulative techniques. This is the story of five women whose lives were stolen by state-sponsored spies, and who, one by one, uncovered the shocking truth.

Groomed. Gaslighted. Ghosted. These five motivated, articulate and independent women each thought they'd met the love of their life - a true soulmate who shared their values, ambitions and goals. They shared their passion for campaigning and had joined the same political groups. But after many happy years, their partners started to behave strangely, and appeared to be having a nervous breakdown. Then they vanished, leaving a note explaining that they'd gone abroad to sort themselves out. 'It's not you. It's me.' These women were left confused and traumatised, unable to move on and searching for answers. Through forensic detective work, they eventually confirmed they had all been in serious relationships with fictional men who were actually married police officers and whose deceit was being funded by the tax payer. The undercover officers were part of a secret political policing unit and took elaborate measures to develop their fake personas. They stole the identities of dead children. They were issued with fake passports and driving licenses. As the women uncovered the truth, their discoveries caused the operations to fall apart dramatically and publicly, enabling them to find each other and take legal action. When they compared their stories, they discovered the chilling overlaps in their experiences. The police officers had been using the same set of tactics and techniques to manipulate their cover-story girlfriends. They had been spying on the women and their friends in order to undermine their attempts to create a more just world. This is the story of five women whose lives were stolen by state-sponsored spies, but who came together to take on the police, ultimately winning an unprecedented apology and out-of-court settlement.
