The 16th Player - Paperback

by Paula Murphy (Author)

Net supports that collapse, lockers that fall just grazing a player's leg, motor oil on the court, and balls covered with glass slivers: someone was very angry. Meet the squad of the Marina Valkyries individually and as a team. Help Phyllis solve a mystery set on a college campus before someone is hurt permanently.

Author Biography

In many ways, Paula Murphy's life-story parallels that of her protagonist Phyllis Ludwigsohn. Born in Montreal Quebec, she was brought along with her family when her father, an aerospace engineer, moved to Southern California. Educated at California State University at Long Beach where she played field hockey and volleyball. A resident of Santa Monica today, she's had multiple careers--though none as a detective--and fewer relationships than her protagonist. Worries about who will take care of her parrots when she dies.
