Ryan is a young baseball player with dreams of making it to the big league. His wife has been trying to keep the family secure financially while her husband is in the minor leagues. She is teaching at an exclusive private school while going to night school to become a lawyer. Her husband begs her to come to his last game of the season. It will take tremendous juggling of her schedule but Chelsea plans to be there. In the middle of the game, Ryan learns that his wife has been hit by a drunk driver. He races to the hospital and learns that his wife has died. As a young widowed father, he struggles to put his life back together. On the third anniversary of his wife's death, he receives a message "It was not an accident". Suddenly, Ryan is thrown into an escalating situation where he must find out if his wife was murdered and who did it.
I have read quite a few books by James Grippando. I have enjoyed most of the Jack Swayntek series but some have been better than others. This standalone was delightful and perhaps, his best work of all. I am really glad I picked it up and I hope that Mr. Grippando continues to write more books in this vein.
Rating - 5 stars
