Murder at Maple Leaf Stadium

Murder at Maple Leaf Stadium
 A Mick & Mack Mystery

Toronto, 1949. The crowd roars. The bat cracks. And a body hits the dirt.

Slugger Johnny “Jolt” Jensen rounds third under the glow of the Maple Leaf Stadium lights—only to collapse dead at home plate. What looked like a thrilling game turns into a deadly scandal as whispers of poison, gambling, and game-fixing ripple through the stands.

Detectives Mick McCathie and Mack MacNeely are called in to keep a lid on the investigation before the press catches wind. But the deeper they dig, the stranger the box score becomes: a coded notebook disguised as stats, a batboy taking secret signals, and a charming ex-ballplayer turned flashy bookie with his fingers in every dugout from Buffalo to Baltimore.

At the heart of the mystery is Patches O’Sullivan—too smooth to be innocent, too cocky to be clean—and the unstoppable Rosie “Reds” DeLuca, tavern queen and thorn in every crook’s side.

With rising sports magnate Jack Kent Cooke watching from the wings, Mick and Mack must uncover the truth before the next pitch—and the next body—drops.

Because in postwar Toronto, even the cleanest game can hide a killer in the crowd.
