AUSTIN, Texas - s4story -- Pandamoon Publishing announces September 4, 2019 as the official launch date for baseball cozy mystery, MURDER AT FIRST PITCH by Bostonian Nicole Asselin, lifelong Red Sox fan. "We are ready to introduce Nicole to the world. Her debut novel blends her love of baseball with her passion for mysteries," said Zara Kramer, publisher at Pandamoon Publishing and an avid member of #RedSoxNation herself.

"For her entire 32 years, Madeline Boucher has been a baseball fan. Her grandfather ensured a love for the game and particularly the Boston Red Sox from an early age by purchasing a local Independent League Baseball team, the Abington Armadillos, a team he purchased before she was born. When circumstances force her to return home, she must finally accept her place in the family," Kramer added.

"The first time Madeline enters the ballpark she discovers the brutally bludgeoned body of a prospective scout in the visitor's dugout. Using her position in the team's front office, she learns more about the victim and identifies potential suspects, though she may have bitten off more than she can chew," Asselin said.
