Catching a murderer or taking over the victim's job as basketball coach - for veteran sleuth and college professor Alison Bergeron, sport is a fate worse than death.

College English professor and sometime sleuth Alison Bergeron would've been thrilled to hear that her husband NYPD Detective Bobby Crawford was leaving homicide if that were the whole story, but it isn't. Bobby's next assignment is even worse--undercover. As if that weren't bad enough, Alison is forced to take over the women's basketball team after the coach dies of a heart attack during a game. She may not know much basketball, but she's no stranger to sleuthing, and it isn't long before she suspects that the coach's death may be more than unexpected but premeditated as well.

With Bobby deep undercover and Alison always on her way to deep trouble, it's only a matter of time before they run smack into each other in Physical Education, the latest in Barbieri's charming Murder 101 mystery series.
