From the dustcover:
All that Alton Benjamin "Rooster" Franklin wants is to stay out of trouble. Getting to know his thirteen-year-old daughter is trouble enough. When main squeeze Carolyn meets up with family problems--in the shape of a stolen car--she drags Rooster along for--what else?--help. With his record, the last thing he needs is another crime caper. But Rooster can't help himself. Auto theft was once his specialty.
Finding the car is easy. It's the excess baggage that comes with it that causes Rooster some major-league trouble. The missing Cadillac belongs to Carolyn's sister's husband, superstar pitcher Randall "Rowdy" Monroe, whose losing streak began with the loss of his lucky gove--which just happened to be in the stolen car. Rooster soon finds the glove--and an incriminating videotape, too, which leads him to the corpse of a gorgeous baseball groupie.
A guest at the hot-shot pitcher's sumptuous Kansas City home, Rooster finds himself surrounded by a house full of suspects--including himself. And then the second body is found....
