Marie's past year has been tough. She lost her apartment, and her mother, and she's been beaten up more times than she cares to count. She decideson the advice of her shrinkthat exercise will help. So, she joins a softball team.
But there's a problem, of course. A dead girl is hanging around second base at Marie's first game, and she won't leave. She won't even tell Marie her name. So Marie decides to do a little sleuthing, and what she finds out puts her in more danger than she's ever been in her life.
All Marie wants is fresh air and exercise. Is that too much to ask?
