Death by Southpaw
There’s no crying in baseball…but there’s plenty of killing.
America’s pastime just became Dallas’ deadliest crime.
For Penelope van Keesler, there’s nothing quite like the crack of a bat, the roar of a crowd, and the scent of roasted peanuts in the air. So when Clara Unger, owner of the struggling Dallas Mockingbirds, hires the Heist Society to recover her stolen fortune, Penelope jumps at the chance to step up to the plate. Especially with Babe Ruth and the New York Yankees coming to town for a spring training exhibition game.
But when Highwaters Wilson, the team’s veteran catcher and promoter, is found dead in the dugout, bludgeoned by a baseball bat, Penelope’s investigation turns from missing money to murder.
With her trademark charm and a love of America’s pastime, Penelope dives headfirst into the world of minor-league baseball. From shady money men to power-hungry players, every suspect has a motive. The clock is ticking before the Yankees’ train pulls into the station, and the Mockingbirds strikeout, losing their chance at redemption.
Can Penelope recover Clara's stolen fortune and catch a killer? Or will this underdog team leave the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning?
Dallas, Texas - 1925
