Kathleen Catherine O'Shaughnessy Stengel, or Casey Stengel as she is known to her friends and family, is a Household Manager. Woe to anyone who would call her a housekeeper. An avid baseball fan, she often sees life as though it were a ballgame. Her misfortune was to discover her employer, Mr. Popelmayer, among his beloved orchids where he lay as if he'd gone down swinging. Casey meets Max Dugan, a homicide detective when he comes to investigate Popelmayer's death. Together they try to find the answer to Mr. Pop's murder.There is more than one bizarre and exotic turn to the mystery of Mr. Pop's death. Did his daughter, Cattelya, or his son, Garo, want an early inheritance? Or perhaps his first wife has had her revenge. The answer may lie in the Costa Rican Forest of Orchids.
