The Offside Coroner

A women’s pro soccer coach is dead. The players are scared. And Coroner Fenway Stevenson knows the truth won’t stay buried.

When the head coach of a professional women’s soccer team is found murdered in his hotel room, Coroner Fenway Stevenson is pulled into a high-profile case with explosive potential. The team is in town for training, but the season is suddenly the last thing on anyone’s mind.

The deeper Fenway digs, the more unsettling the story becomes. The coach had a reputation-not just for winning, but for the quiet control he held over his players. Whispers of coercion begin to surface, and one thing becomes painfully clear: the women who worked under him didn’t always have a choice.

But the truth is slippery. The players are frightened. Team officials are stonewalling. And the local sheriff’s office, under pressure to keep the town’s reputation clean, is more interested in managing headlines than finding justice.

With political tensions mounting, evidence going missing, and the team preparing to leave town, Fenway faces impossible choices. Her position puts her at odds with powerful people-and every step forward brings personal risk.

As the case unfolds, Fenway must decide how far she’s willing to go to give a voice to those who’ve been silenced. Because someone in this town would kill to keep the truth off the record.

Sharp, emotionally resonant, and unflinching, The Offside Coroner is the eighth gripping installment in the Fenway Stevenson Mysteries.
