Summary:
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. It's not until a second player-the first victim's mistress and pickleball partner-is killed that Sheriff Ferris realizes this is no hunting accident. Someone is hunting people, and it's up to her to find out who. With the first victim's crazed widow breathing down Lew's neck, there's no room to breathe, let alone to find time to appreciate the beautiful Loon Lake fall and go fishing. Adding to Sheriff Ferris' 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 play - but why? Who is really at risk? The pickleball players, or Lew and the people close to her?
