The Story It's
summer in Hopemore, Georgia. The Honeybees' Fast-Pitch Softball
Team just won the county championship, with MacLaren Yarbrough's
granddaughter Bethany pitching the winning game. But an ugly mood pervades the
town when somebody sprays racist graffiti on the high school, accusing
Honeybees' coach, DeWayne Evans, of "touching" white girls.
DeWayne's house is next, then Judge MacLaren Yarbrough and her son
Ridd find DeWayne hanging in the boy's locker room the weekend before
the Honeybees are in the regional championship playoffs. Is this the work of a gang of young
hoodlums who have been terrorizing Hopemore? Or is the killer somebody
much closer to home? Author praise for the series: "Charms,
mystifies and delights. As Southern as Sunday fried chicken and sweet
tea." "A novel to be savored while sitting on a creaky swing on the front porch, a pitcher of lemonade nearby, a dog slumbering in the sunlight." Joan Hess
