520 1  "Eliot Asinof's newest baseball hero left tiny Gandee, 
       Missouri, as John Clyde Cagle Jr., a hard-throwing 
       lefthander who had pitched a perfect game in high school. 
       New he returns in triumph as the legendary "Black Jack," 
       superstar of the Los Angeles Dodgers, a stoic, menacing 
       mound demon with a Fu Manchu moustache and a 106-mile-per-
       hour fastball." "In a nationally televised event that, 
       like everything else in his life, is precisely 
       orchestrated by agent and money manager Gordon Stanley, 
       Jack's return is to dedicate Black Jack Field, the two-
       million-dollar ballpark he has donated to his hometown. He
       arrives in a white stretch limo, glamorous girlfriend at 
       his side and the world at his feet." 
520 8  "But he is stung by a spate of bad memories of his boyhood,
       most painful of which is that of Cyrus Coles, his fat 
       black battery mate who had quietly taught Jack the 
       disciplined pitching that had made him great. Typically 
       now, when Jack throws out the ceremonial first pitch to 
       his father, Vietnam war hero, spit-and-polish sheriff of 
       Gandee, everyone believes the father to be the reason for 
       the son's success." "Then Jack confronts Cyrus's murdered 
       body, blown away by a shotgun blast. He has to face the 
       fury of Cyrus's widow, Ruby, and, most provocative of all,
       an outspoken woman named Foxx, who makes him aware that 
       he's been living a lie." 
520 8  "Jack flees this unsettling scene with his girlfriend for 
       the pleasures of New York City - until he learns that, 
       back in Gandee, his father has arrested Ruby for the 
       murder of her husband. To everyone's astonishment, Jack 
       returns to Gandee to help her."--Jacket.
