Donovan’s Dilemma begins with the all-star quarterback of The New York Giants coping with a serious head injury which threatens to end his career. Pain and memory loss raise the questions “Will he ever play football again?” and “If not, what should he do with the rest of his life?” David Donovan moves from New York to Raleigh, North Carolina, to sort out his options. In Raleigh, he impulsively opens The Mozart Cafe, a temporary business he hopes will distract him. Instead, he is challenged by a desperate man demanding possession of The Cafe, a man willing to murder to get what he wants. At the same time, a mother and gifted girl hiding from the girl’s jailed father learn he has escaped from prison. The frightened mother enlists Donovan’s protection, a move which adds powerful emotional currents to the quarterback’s impending decision.

Formerly a staff archivist for the National Archives and a senior intelligence analyst with the Central Intelligence Agency, Rudgers challenges the popular view that the Agency was principally the brainchild of former OSS chief William J. Donovan. Rather, he explains, the centralization of intelligence was part of a larger reorganization of the US government during the transition from World War II to the Cold War. He also documents how it swerved from its original purpose of guarding against sneak attacks to taking part in clandestine activity against the Soviet Union.

Canadian-born George "Mooney" Gibson (1880-1967) grew up playing baseball on the sandlots around London, Ontario, before going on to star with the Pittsburgh Pirates of the National League. In an era known for tough, defensive catchers, Gibson was an ironman and set records for endurance. He helped the Pirates defeat Ty Cobb and the Detroit Tigers to win their first World Series in 1909. He played with and against some of the biggest names in the game and counted Cobb, Honus Wagner and John McGraw as friends. He then held numerous coaching and managing roles in New York, Toronto, Pittsburgh, Washington and Chicago--the last Canadian to manage full-time in the Major Leagues.
