In the late 1960s, two young men left a small Michigan town. One was Gunsten Pedersen, who went on to a career with the Detroit Tigers. The other was Harry Summers, a gifted infielder who disappeared from Copper Strike on a rainy June night. Now an excavation crew has unearthed Harry's bones, and with them, grim evidence of murder-a hammer imbedded in Harry's skull. Gun Pedersen, hometown hero turned recluse, has returned for Harry's funeral. But when evidence of the decades-old crime points to Gun's father, Gun is caught in a tragedy from Copper Strike's past. With his own wedding only days away, Gun is finding some hard and wrenching truths: about the things fathers do for sons, about the things you can't ever leave behind, and about a killer who has yet one more life to take.

Gunsten Søren Pedersen knew about baseball and death. A tragedy took the former slugger out of the major leagues, and the only diamonds he sees now are the stars shining in the cold night of Minnesota's North Woods. That is, until Miles Gates-an old friend in big trouble-calls him down to the Sunshine State. What Gun finds there is a trail of brutal killings, some aging ballplayers, shady characters, and the beautiful sister of a reporter who died for his story. Gun discovers the truth behind the murder spree, and he strikes at it as hard as he ever hit a fastball in his prime. But in the warmth of the Florida sun, old dreams and old hatreds have a way of coming back to life-and when Gun returns north, so does a man who wants him dead. Fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Craig Johnson's Longmire, and William Kent Krueger's Cork O'Connor enjoy the Enger brothers' Gun Pedersen. ***PRAISE FOR THE GUN PEDERSEN SERIES*** COMEBACK: "A well-written, fast-reading thriller. . . .
