Description: Cyrus Nygerski is nineteen when he meets his first werewolf. Not knowing her secret, he asks her to a 1967 Red Sox vs. White Sox game in Chicago -- a historic game, as it happens, for Red Sox fans like Nygerski, a minor league second baseman himself. But Jose Tartabull's game-winning throw on August 27 is just one of several spectacular events of Nygerski's summer. For it seems that he collides with Cassandra Paine, not once, but twice -- in New York City in April and in Beloit, Wisconsin, the day of the famous game. And each time, he discovers, she's running away from a murder. Cassandra can foresee the future, but she cannot alter the past -- and it is that which freewheels the two into a whirlwind of pulse-heightening suspense, some brilliant baseball, and the dangers of life and dying, in an alternate, nonlinear time that saves Cassandra from her nightmare and hands Nygerski his dream.
