Glitter of Diamonds
N. J. Lindquist once again hooks us with deftly-drawn characters, complex story-lines, and thought-provoking issues, served up with her unique mix of tongue-in-cheek humor and gentle compassion. This time, Lindquist takes readers into the world of major league baseball and its surrounding media.
After Stasey Simon, an outspoken sports talk-show host, asks on-air for a volunteer to knock some sense into the home team’s temperamental new pitcher, Manziuk and Ryan hustle to catch a murderer swinging a lethal bat before the case escalates into an international incident.
While keeping the characters and plot in the forefront, Lindquist also manages to explore the intricate, almost symbiotic relationships between the management, players, fans, and media that make Major League Baseball a vital part of the North American culture.
As the crime threatens to escalate into an international incident, Manziuk draws on his own knowledge of baseball while his partner, Jacquie Ryan, tries to understand a game she’s never watched.
