The Fens

Pamela Wechsler's enthralling series returns with The Fens, and promises to shock readers old and new.

Boston's chief homicide prosecutor Abby Endicott hasn't had the easiest adjustment to normal life. Her wealthy family cut her off because they don't agree with her dangerous career choice, her new apartment with her musician boyfriend is not up to standards, and her impending position as godmother is overwhelming. Abby's personal life, however, is about to be put on hold when the star catcher for the Red Sox goes missing on opening day.

Abby quickly realizes this is more than a case of one missing celebrity. Soon, another player turns up dead and the frantic search escalates. When Abby discovers greased baseballs and mysterious sums of cash, she knows that a lot more than the Red Sox's season is in danger.
