Georgia | 1 comments I think I read it in the late '90's early 2000's. For the life of me, I can't remember the title or author. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Ingo (ilembcke) | 669 comments Timeframe fits, this came to mind. Has been a time since I read this, so maybe remember not enough details.
Philip Kerr
The Grid by Philip Kerr The Grid

Was also published as Gridiron.
Details on Goodreads say published 1996, while The Grid is listed as 1997. Maybe UK vs. US titel, but that is just a guess.
