The mystery begins with Jessica’s visit to Judge Jack and Meg Duffy’s home in Arizona. Invited to their foster son, Ty Ramos’s baseball game, she goes to work gathering background information about the team’s owner, Harrison Bennett and his son, Junior. Junior and Ty are bitter rivals and Bennett resents his ability because it overshadows his own son’s success. After Ty hits the winning run, tension builds between Ty and Harrison. The morning after the game, Junior Bennett is found dead. Ty becomes an immediate suspect.

Jessica goes along for the ride and naturally becomes the key investigator in solving the crime. The reader tags along and acts as co-pilot through all its twists and turns.

If you like Jessica Fletcher and enjoyed her television series, you will like the book. It’s fun to read, the pace is fast, and the characters interesting. Discovering clues on every page, I looked forward to solving the mystery along with Jessica. And, let’s face it, who doesn’t like baseball.
