Marshall Connors #2
7th Inning Death
Sometimes, bad things happen to good people. Sometimes, good people do bad things. And sometimes, people are just plain bad...
Major league umpire Marshall Connors is trying to regroup and get his life back to something resembling normal. After surviving the wrath of a psychotic revenge-hungry killer during the most recent World Series, Marshall wants nothing more than a return to the relative obscurity of his profession, and the simplicity of the game he loves, all while nurturing a new relationship.
Former FBI agent John King isn’t really a bad person, but a few loose wires make him seem that way. He, too, is looking for normalcy, but disgraced and fired by the FBI, King must battle through a horde of personal demons to get there. A new job gives him hope, but the struggles grow when King discovers another monster, one more vicious and dangerous than those in his head.
Before the walls of his world collapse completely, King makes a last desperate attempt for salvation, leading him once again into Marshall's life. The collision leaves the umpire in the middle of another game he would rather not play.
With the help of his best friend, Thomas Hillsborough--ex-CIA spy--Marshall can only hope a solution arrives in time.
7th Inning Death -- because you can't stretch when you're dead...

About the author
Allen Schatz
4 books32 followersI run, I write, I make spreadsheets. The first two keep my head straight. The last one pays the bills. All things being equal, I'd rather only be doing the first two.
I wrote these books a few years ago, hoping for the "classic" outcome of a book deal and career in writing. Things didn't quite work out for that (yet), so I did the self-publish thing.
Most readers get it and enjoy my words. A few don't. That's OK. Judge for yourself.
Thanks for reading.

Better than Book 1. Extra star because my dad wrote it :)

If you "liked" the first book you will love this second one! It takes you more in depth into the charactor's lives and relationships and as you get to know them a mystery subtletly is forming with murders to follow. Baseball is more in the background in this book. I liked how you were gentley reminded of what happened in the other book and the way its done it could be a stand alone book too. The scenes with the shrink were very well done, it made me think of Tony Soprano on tv and the tense relationship he had with his lady shrink. Written like a pro and a enjoyable read!

The theme of bipolar/depression made this story interesting. However, I am seriously getting bummed by all the potty mouthed characters when it just isn't necessary. Maybe I need to go back to the Hardy Boys to read a good mystery without overkill of foul language.
