The Chicago Cubs are playing in their first spring training game this afternoon in their new ballpark in Mesa Arizona. It seems like the perfect day to announce that Eckhartz Press is now accepting pre-orders for Randy Richardson’s book “Lost in the Ivy”.
The murder mystery takes place around the slightly older Cubs ballpark in Chicago. Against the backdrop of Chicago’s storied Wrigley Field, a baseball shrine cursed by a billy goat, reporter Charley Hubbs 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.
Here’s what the people who have already read “Lost in the Ivy” thought of it…
“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
“This book is not just for Cub fans but for all who love a great story. It’s a wonderful read. Enjoy! I know I did.”
~Tom Dreesen, author (Tim and Tom: An American Comedy in Black amd White), comedian, and Cub fan
“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
This is Randy’s second book for Eckhartz Press. He also wrote the critically acclaimed “Cheeseland“.
