About This Book

The story follows a gifted young ballplayer who leads his club through training, tough contests, and a pennant chase. Alongside teammates and veteran coaches he faces fierce rivals, injuries and slumps, and a series of baffling incidents that suggest deliberate sabotage. As the season advances he turns in standout pitching and hitting performances, sparks rallies, and helps engineer comebacks while investigating the mystery behind the jinxing of games. The plot blends on-field action and base-running thrills with a sports-field detective element that is unraveled through teamwork, perseverance, and a decisive confrontation that restores fair play.
