Those plans are cut short when Marshall is given a surprise assignment to work the World Series as crew chief, but the real reason is not discovered until he is neck-deep in trouble.\u003cbr\u003eThe sudden change rekindles a relationship with the O’Hara family--Terry, major league pitcher and Game 1 starter in the Series, Michael, Terry’s father and former major leaguer, and Samantha, Terry’s mother and Michael's ex-wife--but Marshall quickly realizes some things truly are better left alone.\u003cbr\u003eAs the Series plays out, so does the truth behind long-buried O’Hara family secrets and Marshall is caught in a storm that threatens to destroy him and those he loves. With the help of his best friend, Thomas Hillsborough--ex-CIA spy--Marshall fights to solve the puzzle before the Series reaches its climax in GAME 7: DEAD BALL, the ultimate contest of survival.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Allen Schatz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47182520254704,"sku":"2940011208164","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940011208164_p0.jpg?v=1763547976","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940011208164","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
