Of all the great mysteries you may come across in your summer reading the next couple of months, the Curious Case of Earl Thomas won't test your faculties much.
In Chapter 1, the great safety chases down the Cowboys' head coach during the season and begs to be rescued. Chapter 2 finds the general manager failing to execute the plan during the draft.
Flustered by the Cowboys' efforts, the hero holds out in Chapter 3, hoping to motivate his captors.
And in Chapter 4, the Cowboys, who'd created cap room with the release of a former cornerstone, make just enough through another deal to pay the ransom.
