About the Book:

Pickleball is the newest sport in the world, and that is exactly why it can hide so much. It arrived faster than its rules, its governance, its equipment standards, its integrity units, its safeguarding, its player protections, and its very memory could be built - and the wrongs hide not in secrecy but in everything the friendly, fast-growing game has not yet built. In these eleven stories, women at the edge of a half-built institution - a line judge, an equipment official, a tournament director, a safeguarding specialist, a founding archivist - notice the one thing that doesn't belong and decide the code should mean what it says, even when the code isn't finished. They resolve it not with violence but by insisting the sport build the thing that would catch the wrong. Suspense in the tradition of great thrillers, where a sport too young to police itself is the easiest place of all to hide a lie.

From the Author: I wanted to write about the newest sport in the world while it's still deciding what kind of sport it will be. - Manoj Palwe
