Overview

When Toronto Planet baseball writer Kate Henry visits the Titans' spring training camp in the retirement village of Sunland, Florida, she expects to have a mostly uneventful time. Sure, it will be warm and sunny but the veteran reporter would rather be back in winter-bound Toronto spending time with her lover, homicide detective Andrew Munro.

Training camp, however, gets decidedly more interesting - and dangerous - when an attractive young sports writer better known for her sexual skills than her reportorial talent is found dead by the beach. Domingo Avila, a promising young rookie from the Dominican Republic, is quickly arrested and charged with the woman's death.

Kate Henry, however, is convinced that Avila's arrest is a mistake and she undertakes the daunting task of trying to clear his name.
