Sunstroke, written by the son of mystery writers Jonathan and Faye Kellerman, has been hailed by a phalanx of reviews gushing that "talent breeds true" and "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

It appears that while the claimant was so engaged in the performance of his labor for the petitioner, he suffered a sunstroke and fell to the ground, striking his head against the spade or some other object.
In the hearing before the commission the main question of fact was whether or not the claimant, at the time of receiving the sunstroke and consequential injury, was performing labor for the petitioner in a place where the location and nature of the work peculiarly exposed the employe to the danger of sunstroke.
In other words, that the risk of injury by sunstroke was naturally connected with, and reasonably incidental to, his employment as distinguished from the ordinary risk to which the general public is exposed from climatic conditions.
