Who's Killing the Brooklyn Dodgers? — Donald Dewey

An old-timer visits New York City for a team reunion, but someone takes him out at the ballgame in this sharp-witted PI mystery.

Widowed ex-cop and PI Paul Finley still sticks close to his father-in-law -- a bond rooted more in shared grief than shared affection -- and one of Joe's biggest passions is the annual Brooklyn Dodgers Banquet, where he gets to hang out with the aging heroes of Ebbets Field. But this year, a onetime scrub for the Dodgers is shot to death in the Citi Field press box.

Soon afterward, a couple of similar shootings, of a restaurant cook on a subway platform and an accountant on the West Side Highway, suggest more than just isolated incidents of big city violence. Drawn into the case by family promises, Finley seeks a pattern to the shootings -- even as they increasingly endanger him and those closest to him -- in this fast-moving fourth novel in the compelling contemporary mystery series.
