"Easter and Ruby Quilby, ages 12 and 7, are in a group home for children after their mother dies from an overdose. Wade Chesterfield, their long-gone father, is a washed-up minor league baseball player with a duffle bag full of stolen money. Bobby Pruitt is a hitman sent after Wade by the small-time mobster who stole the money first. And Brady Weller is the girls' guardian ad litem. When Wade takes the girls from the home and drives to Myrtle Beach--to show the girls the ocean and figure out what to do next--it sets off a chain of events that no one could have anticipated. Brady and Bobby track Wade and the girls all the way to St. Louis, where they converge at a Cardinals game during the Sammy Sosa-Mark McGuire home run battle. Written in a slow, Southern style, but still a page-turner, this is a cat-and-mouse game that almost any mystery reader should enjoy." Recommended by M.O., Medina Library, MCDL
