Ha ha... this made me laugh. I'm not really into true crime or sports books, so don't know if these'll pick your interest, but...
An oldie but a goodie is Greg Palast's "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy".
I also recently read Harvard law professor Randall Kennedy's last two books, both pretty short, "N**ger: the Strange Career of a Troublesome Word" and "Sellout: The Politics of Racial Betrayal". Pretty interesting history of race relations in the U.S., both simple but very provocative.
