A pitcher. A president. Two men become linked by events when the stakes are highest.

The Chicago Cubs have finally won a World Series for the first time since 1908. Now they want to build a baseball dynasty. To do so, they trade for star pitcher Trey Van Ohmann. Meanwhile, the Cubs’ biggest and best-known fan, Luke Murphy, is running for re-election as President of the United States.

But world events and powerful, unknown forces conspire against them. To succeed, they must overcome terrorism, scandals, and threats to their lives and those around them. The baseball season and a presidential campaign that could be ripped out of today’s headlines intertwine in one fateful October.

In the follow-up to his award-winning novel, “Killing the Curse,” Dennis Hetzel once again combines sports, politics, thrilling action, and memorable characters in a story you won’t forget.
