Jim Honeycutt, a vigorous Hall of Famer who still hurls 90 MPH fast balls in his 50s, is missing his three-hundredth career win baseball, and an anonymous note points to his daughters. Cherchez la femme, or so they say. In this case, there isn't just one female involved, but six, and they are all suspects. Four lovely daughters, their seductive mother, and their mother's best friend. Eli Sharpe, an ex pro-baseball player based in Asheville, North Carolina, who investigates cases related to his former profession, sets out to delve into the complicated family dynamics of the Honeycutt clan. Other than the daughters, there are the various men who trail after them as well as the washed-out writer who lives in the Hall of Famer's basement, supposedly writing his biography. The culprit has to be someone in Jim's circle. So how difficult can it be to expose them? Even Eli, with his already close acquaintance with human treachery, isn't prepared for what he will find.
