...night of Dec. 19, 1987, Lafester Rhodes did what no one in Iowa State history had done before. He scored 54 points in a single game, razor-edging rival University of Iowa 102-100. No one who saw that game will ever forget Lafester Rhodes. But these days he doesn't feel like much of a champion...
...Scribner's; 261 pages; $16.95) is a superb example of the "cold crime" subgenre. A seedy private eye, approached by an even seedier pal, starts looking for the proceeds of a famous jewel robbery out West a couple of decades after the theft. His allies and enemies in an ever shifting set of alliances include an aging femme fatale, a spunky tomboy and her ex-con grandfather, a trio of murderous Indians, a small-town newspaper editor and a crooked policeman.

"I'm the damn cop, but it's an impossible job," he groans. Warkentien, ever on the lookout for illegal gifts from boosters, examines every player's monthly rent check and car titles. But in other ways the university is less vigilant. For example, school officials have formal arrangements with Las Vegas-strip casino restaurants allowing players to charge one training meal...
