Books like Wild pitch by A. B. Guthrie


Buster Hogue, the Midbury baseball team’s ace pitcher, is gunned down at the town’s annual picnic, setting off a frantic hunt for a sniper in a quiet frontier setting. Sheriff Chick Charleston, inexperienced with homicide, relies on patience, persistence, a sense of humor, and a sharp understanding of people to navigate the tangled motives of a town full of grudges. With the help of seventeen‑year‑old Jason Beard, a budding detective and teammate, the pair dig deeper after the sniper fires again, narrowing the suspect list. In a violent, surprising climax, Jase’s quick thinking turns the tide, sealing the case and bringing closure to the community.
