Skip Shaughnessy and the Surprise Family Union is a heart-warming story in the 4th book of the Skip's Action Series. Skip is not happy when his leave is canceled and he has to return to work, pulling extra long hours. In addition, he's drafted to coach a team of juvenile delinquents in baseball. And although the young police officer had been offered a contract to play professional baseball, he dreads coaching a bunch of troublemakers.

Following the trail left by two of the troublemakers, Skip is horrified to learn that they're related to him. And as he prepares his baseball team for the big game, there's a plot brewing against him which inadvertently puts his life in extreme danger. Because one boy's plot to keep him from showing up for the big game could cost his life.

Will Skip make it to the game on time, or will he die trying to get there?
