Jessica goes out to the ballgame-and comes through in the bottom of the ninth-in a brand-new mystery in the "USA Today" bestselling series. Visiting her old friends Judge Jack and Meg Duffy in Arizona, Jessica watches their foster son hit the winning run for the Mesa Rattlers in a AA league playoff game. She and the Duffys are thrilled at Ty Ramos's success, but team owner Harrison Bennett is not. His son Junior and Ty are bitter rivals, and the tension at the team dinner later that evening threatens to empty the dugouts. By the next morning, Junior Bennett is dead, and Ty is the prime suspect.

The painter from Shanghai
Jennifer Cody Epstein.
Check Availability
416 p. ; 25 cm.
"Pan Yuliang - one-time prostitute, postimpressionist, and adopted Parisian - lived at the intersection of great art and tumultuous modern history. In the painter from Shanghai, Jennifer Cody Epstein reimagines the life of this bold and improbable woman." "Down the muddy waters of the Yangtze River and into the seedy backrooms of "The Hall of Eternal Splendor," through the raucous glamour of prewar Shanghai and the bohemian splendor of 1920s Paris, and back to a China ripped apart by civil war and teetering on the brink of revolution, this novel fells the story of Pan Yuliang, one of the most talented - and provocative - Chinese artists of the twentieth century." "Jennifer Cody Epstein conjures the world of the woman behind the Cezannesque nude self-portraits, imagining with lavish detail her life in the brothel and then as a concubine to the Republican official who would ultimately help her find her way as an artist. Moving with the tide of historical events, The Painter from Shanghai celebrates a singular daring painting style - one that led to fame, notoriety, and, ultimately, a devastating choice: between Pan's art and the one great love of her life."--BOOK JACKET.
