What starts as a simple night out at a ballgame for a college student and his best friend quickly evolves into the worlds of baseball and terrorism colliding in a tale of one man’s cross-country odyssey to connect the two. Dead at Home is a suspense-filled thriller that tells this multi-layered tale, weaving legends of Major League Baseball, ruthless assassins, and the angst of young love into the narrative.

John R. Litzenberg III is a physical therapist and competitive distance runner/ coach, born and raised in his hometown of Sonoma, CA. He attended Columbia University in New York City, where he competed on the cross-country and track and field teams for four years and completed his coursework in 1992– earning a BA in psychology.

Dead at Home is part road novel, part murder thriller, part social commentary—a story about what happens when ordinary people brush up against extraordinary evil, and how conscience can become both a burden and a catalyst for action.
