Dead to Rights

The Women's College Softball Championship tournament ended in two major surprises. One was the victory of the underdog team: a group of upstarts from Burleigh College, a small women's college in New England. The other was the bizarre collapse and death of the losing team's star player. Caused by a violent (and unexplained) allergic reaction, the player's death feels very wrong to CUAA investigator Reggie Lichtman. Add to this Pierce Nolan, a previously unknown coach who brought the winning team from obscurity to the championship in only one year, and Reggie finds herself developing unpleasant suspicions. With the politics of college athletics being what they are and with nothing concrete on which to base her concerns, Reggie's investigation of the circumstances behind the player's death and of the mysterious coach of the winning team must be both quiet and largely unofficial. The further Reggie digs into the past of Pierce Nolan and of the whole Burleigh team, the more disquieting information she uncovers pointing to a conspiracy far more extensive than the simple recruiting violations and ticket-scalping operations with which she usually deals. As Reggie gets closer and closer to the elusive answers, she finds her own life, and those of the people closest to her, in the gravest of dangers....
