Forgotten Book: DEATH IN THE BACK POCKET, Peter Fitzpatrick & Barbara Wenzel

This week's Friday's Forgotten book for the meme hosted by Patti Abbott on Pattinase's Friday's Forgotten Books really stretched my research skills.

It appears in my records in September 1993. It also appears to have been published in 1993.

It is subtitled A footy murder mystery and I'm pretty sure the setting was an AFL (Australian Football League, i.e. Australian rules football) match at the MCG. (Melbourne Cricket Ground, "home" of the AFL)

Both the authors Peter Fitzpatrick and Barbara Wenzel appear in the National Library archives as having written separate novels, but DEATH IN THE BACK POCKET was their only collaboration, nor do they, separately seem to have written any other crime fiction.

After an hour's research, I am no wiser about the plot or the cover. Drat!

So, here's your chance. Tell me about any murder mystery title you know of set at a sports match.
I think there is a series set at baseball matches isn't there?

One I read in 2008 set around soccer was BENEATH THE BLEEDING by Val. McDermid.
Tony Hill is in hospital after being attacked by a mad machete wielding prisoner. Another patient in Bradfield Hospital is Bradfield Victoria's star midfielder, quickly dying from a poison for which there is no antidote. It is obvious he has been murdered but why?
Then a terrorist bomb explodes at the Bradfield football stadium killing dozens. DCI Carole Jordan seethes as she is forced to hand over the bombing investigation to a specialist terrorist investigation team. Not that she doesn't have enough to keep her occupied. Tony Hill suspects that the bomber is no terrorist, and then one of their own dies from poisoning.

Then there was Louise Penney's DEAD COLD
#2 in the Armand Gamache series. In the little Canadian village of Three Pines another death has occurred. A female spectator, the hated CC de Poitiers, has been electrocuted while out on the ice watching the annual Boxing Day curling match.

What can you think of?
