For nine years, Vic Landell was a star pitcher in the Major Leagues. When his elbow finally gave out, he retired to paradise - the Gulf Coast of Florida. With millions in the bank and no other skills, he pondered his second act. His father was a detective so he became a private investigator. After a year of looking into bedroom windows and garbage cans, two events changed his life. First, he met the woman of his dreams, a statuesque TV anchor/lawyer with definite femme fatale possibilities. Then a close friend was found dead at a ballpark under suspicious circumstances. Unhappy with how the Police were handling the case, he took up the hunt himself. When it became obvious that his pal was murdered, it was Game On With help of his pistol-packin' girlfriend and his savvy father, he strives to find the killer before the team leaves Florida. Set against the background of spring baseball in the Grapefruit League, "Burden of Proof" is many things - a mystery, a romance, a courtroom drama and, above all, lots of fun.
