Editorial : From Publishers Weekly Baseball fans will welcome Shefchik's second mystery to feature sports sleuth Sam Skarda (after 2007's Amen Corner).

In the sixties, teaching was one of the few professions open to intelligent and qualified females. Although there are many articles on the subject there are few handbook-like treatments of wetland restoration and apparently no others specific to tidal wetlands. In a Quaker journal, however, the subject would be dealt with by saying something like "after long and increasing travail, I was favored by Him Who is the Source of all Truth with a purity of understanding of the dangers of toasts and outward conviviality and the use of spirituous drink, and was opened to put it from me by his Gracious Love and Dispensation."
