When a local pickleball player is shot in the head while practicing at an abandoned tennis court with his partner-slash-lover, Sheriff Lew Ferris suspects that the bullet was a stray shot from hunters in the area. It´s not until a second player - the first victim´s mistress and pickleball partner - is killed that Sheriff Ferris realises this is no hunting accident. Someone is hunting people, and it´s up to her to find out who. With the first victim´s crazed widow breathing down Lew´s neck, there´s no room to breathe, let alone to find time to appreciate the beautiful Loon Lake fall and go fishing. Adding to Sheriff Ferris´ difficulties are three pickleball players convinced someone has targeted them, someone who will do anything, even murder, to frighten them away from the courts where they play - but why? Who is really at risk? The pickleball players, or Lew and the people close to her?
