A bad umpiring call ruins a pitcher’s once-in-a-lifetime chance to make Major League Baseball history. Fans boo and sports talkers bray—but murder? FBI Special Agent Patti Moreland knows nothing about baseball, but she must uncover who’s leaving a trail of bodies outside of stadiums in New York and New Jersey, and why. Each body comes with a note demanding the league commissioner reverse the call that ruined an ultra-rare perfect game, or more people die—including a player close to the investigation who’s vanished and has less than thirty-six hours to live if the commissioner doesn’t buckle. Unless Moreland catches the madman first.
