About this title

Synopsis

Squeeze is a mystery that combines action, suspense, and humor. Charles Ardai, editor of Hard Case Crimes, calls Squeeze . . . appealing writing that kept me reading. The author, Steven J. Pipe, has a lot of talent and I look forward to reading more from him. When a local crime boss is spotted hovering around Fennis Sheldon, the star outfielder for the California Condors, the team's manager hires private investigator Jill Babcock to look into the matter. Jill uncovers a big-time gambling scheme, in which Fennis, and some of his teammates are being blackmailed to fix games. Jill's investigation takes a deadly turn when a key source is murdered, leaving a four-year-old boy as the only witness to the crime.
