註釋The majority of baseball fans agree that William No Chance LaChance is one of the most dominating right-hand pitchers in baseball. There are also many reasons to dislike LaChance, but who hates him enough for murder? Peg McCarthy, Director of the U.S. Customs Station in North Troy, Vermont, is three weeks from retirement when she's thrust into the mystery surrounding the suspicious death of LaChance who had just signed a multi-million dollar contract with the Montreal Expos. Driving home in a snowstorm, Peg happens across a minor accident. A black SUV is oddly parked on the side of the road, its driver unconscious and slumped over the wheel. The only witness seems to be LaChance's traveling companion--his dog Sarek. Peg's retirement plus her French expertise prompt the Expos to offer her a position as an investigative liaison. When LaChance's agent, Buckley Roberts, is 'gunned down' in a police parking lot, McCarthy and Boston Detective Tim Snow work to discover the link between the deaths of LaChance and Roberts.The violent events that follow lead Peg to the uncomfortable conclusion that, while she and Snow examine the clues to a string of murders and attacks, she and Sarek are in the crosshair sights of a serial assassin.
