Foul Play

About the Book

Foul Play is divided into three parts: The first third deals with suspense, mystery, a death-defying illness, and a touching, soon to be aborted, love affair. All the characters in the story have auto-related names, which continues my trademark from my first book, Murder By Proxy, where all the characters were named after intoxicating beverages.

The middle of the story tells us how the H.W.B. SOCIETY deals with the pain and suffering of the people who have been accidentally hit with a batted ball or an errant bat flying from a player's hands during major league ballgames. Sounds serious? Yes, it has its moments, but the chapters are also liberally sprinkled with my own special bend of sly humor. Can you imagine Amy Lamborghini, a tall sexy beauty, with a bat in her hands? Numerous conflicts arise in last part of the book, ending with unexpected resolutions and a heart-warming finale that is sure to bring tears to your eyes.
