Nothing seems more unlikely than Mike Page living alone and coaching a high school softball team as a fifty-something widower. He'd been a minor league baseball player and a nationally recognized newspaper reporter and columnist. He'd also been happily married to the love of his life. But after losing both his job and his wife in the span of a few months, Mike decides to interview for the coaching position. He needs to get his mind off his grief. Plus, he has been turned down for dozens of jobs because of his age. Mike expects the usual problems associated with coaching teenage girls, but he doesn't expect to become embroiled in a bizarre murder mystery with roots that are decades old. Even stranger, he discovers a connection between the mystery and his late wife.
