When proofreader Maggie Velam stumbles upon the body of her small town's newspaper editor, she becomes entangled in the mystery of who could have done such a thing to a man nobody liked anyway. Then someone else is found dead, and Maggie's attention to detail kicks in. She partners with friend Helga and grown son, Seth, to figure out whodunnit ... before someone else winds up dead.

While Maggie Velam is sitting in the bleachers at her son’s baseball game, watching the usual lackluster performance of his team, one of the players keels over dead. Heart attack? Or something more sinister? Maggie suddenly finds herself racing to clear the good names of one person after another as it becomes obvious that someone has murdered a member of the Raging Avocados team. Will she solve the case, or will she watch someone she loves go to prison?
