Description
Reporter Charley Hubbs has the story that any reporter would kill for. The problem is that he may have done just that.
As the dead bodies pile up around him, Charley sets out to prove to himself that he’s not the homicidal maniac the press has made him out to be. Enlisting the aid of seductive, whip-smart bartender Elizabeth “Lizzy” Parker, he makes a daring courthouse escape. From that point on, it’s a race against time for the truth. Along the way, Charley discovers that he can run, but not hide, from his past.
Against the backdrop of Chicago's storied Wrigley Field, a baseball shrine cursed by a billy goat, Charley is caught in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse. Only by unlocking the mysteries of his past and opening his heart again will he be able to find if hope truly does spring eternal.
Advance Praise
"This book is not just for Cub fans but for all who love a great story.” - Tom Dreesen, legendary comedian, Cubs fan and author (Tim & Tom: An American Comedy in Black and White)
“If you’re a fan of the (dare I say “hapless?”) Cubs and you love crime fiction, you’ll love this fast-paced thrill ride through Chicago’s Wrigleyville… Richardson’s characters are quirky but believable and his history of baseball is spot on.” - Libby Fischer Hellmann, author of 10 Chicago based thrillers
"Randy Richardson’s Lost in the Ivy expertly captures the weirdness and excitement of the streets that the Chicago Cubs—baseball’s weirdest and most exciting franchise—call home. And aside from being a terrific "I've been there" walk through Wrigleyville, it’s a cracking murder mystery to boot!" - Stuart Shea, author of Wrigley Field: The Long Life and Contentious Times of the Friendly Confines
"Lost in the Ivy plays out in the shadow of Wrigley Field, a perfect setting for this mystery from Chicago native Randy Richardson. Using his intimate knowledge of the Chicago city streets, the author peppers his story with locations sure to amuse any Cubs fan…A most entertaining tale." – J.D. Gordon, author of Dartboard, Caribbean Calling and Field of Screams
