When a local pickleball player is shot in the head while practicing at an abandoned tennis court with his partner-slash-lover, Sheriff Lew Ferris suspects that the bullet was a stray shot from hunters in the area. Itâs not until a second playerâthe first victimâs mistress and pickleball partnerâis killed that Sheriff Ferris realizes this is no hunting accident. Someone is hunting people, and itâs up to her to find out who. With the first victimâs crazed widow breathing down Lewâs neck, thereâs no room to breathe, let alone to find time to appreciate the beautiful Loon Lake fall and go fishing. Adding to Sheriff Ferrisâs difficulties are three pickleball players convinced someone has targeted them, someone who will do anything, even murder, to frighten them away from the courts where they playâbut why? Who is really at risk? The pickleball players, or Lew and the people close to her?
