PI Tess Monaghan knows and loves every inch of her native Baltimore. It’s a quirky city where baseball reigns, but lately homicide seems to be the second most popular sport. Business tycoon Wink Wynkowski is trying to change all that by bringing pro basketball to town—until a devastating exposé appears in the Baltimore Beacon Light. The newspaper’s editors thought they’d killed the piece. Instead, the piece killed Wink, who’s found dead in his garage. Tess is hired to find the unknown hacker who planted the lethal story.
