When murder disrupts the peace in her mother's quirky Arizona retirement community, Sophie "Phee" Kimball finds herself caught in the middle of a dramatic—and deadly—game once again.

A new board member proposes converting beloved golf courses into eco-friendly parks, and the residents of Sun City West are teed off about it. As tensions rise, Phee's mother harangues her into attending endless meetings and cheerleading for her bocce team, which is on the verge of imploding thanks to Myrna, whose aim on the court is as wild as her imagination.

But when a body turns up suspiciously close to Myrna's practice session, she's convinced her rogue bocce ball is to blame. As the police struggle to unravel the clues, Phee and her private investigator boyfriend, Marshall, are drawn into a web of secrets, grudges, and rivalries that shadows the idyllic retirement community.

With her mom's nosy book club watching every move and the clock ticking before another victim falls, Phee must untangle truth from rumor before someone else winds up dead—or before she herself becomes the next target. Buckle up for a laugh-out-loud cozy mystery where feuds over bocce balls and golf greens turn treacherous… and unexpected villains lurk behind every sunhat.

Can Phee put the chaos to rest, or will her sleuthing stir up even more trouble?
