The national anthem is just winding down when Panzer spies a notable in the box seats: state senator Orson Milbank, a silver-haired scoundrel with enemies in every corner of upstate New York. In the fourth inning, a monstrous line drive brings every fan in the grandstand to his feet--every fan save for one silver-haired senator, who has been shot dead by a sniper in the upper deck.\u003cbr\u003e Archie's employer--the rotund genius Nero Wolfe--has no interest in investigating the stadium slaying, but Archie is swayed by the senator's suspiciously lovely widow. Her husband was mired hip-deep in corruption, and sorting out who killed him will be a task far less pleasant than an afternoon at the ball park.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mysteriouspress.Com\/Open Road\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781480445659\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.98h x 5.28w x 0.58d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/25\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2014 pg. 51\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/15\/2014 pg. 30\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Robert Goldsborough","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36652796739740,"sku":"9781480445659","price":12.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_6e1e01ac-e556-44cb-9dfa-d375a9223065.jpg?v=1603880513","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/murder-in-the-ball-park-9781480445659","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
