Description
Could the curse of the Bambino be over? For eighty-four, count 'em, eighty-four
miserable seasons, the Boston Red Sox have endured nothing but defeat and heartbreak.
Finally, there is hope. From the hinterlands of Texas comes the sensational Ron
Kane, a strapping rookie pitcher whose fastball scorches the radar gun at an
ungodly 110 miles per hour. He can also handle the bat. And play the outfield.
With Kane dazzling sellout crowds, the Red Sox are suddenly a juggernaut. The
only fly in the ointment--a big, ugly horsefly--is the fact that murder seems
to be stalking the club. Chicago . . . Detroit . . . Kansas City . . . wherever
the Sox play, a killer strides, marking his victims with strange ritualistic
symbols. Is a fan responsible for the carnage as he follows the team from town
to town? Or is there a chance, any chance whatsoever, that the madman wears a
Red Sox uniform? As police close in, Red Sox manager Augie "Big Fish" Sharkey
and general manager Neville "Wolf" Wulfmeyer face excruciating questions
about how far they will go in order to win.
