Synopsis
At once a contemporary mystery and a historical tale, this novel flashes between two eras, linking authentic historical events and actual occurrences of the 1920s to a present day investigation. Babe Ruth, one of America's greatest heroes, was a black man who had to hide his heritage, always under the stress and threat of losing his career. Yet he was constantly involved in scandal after scandal-sexual trysts, illicit affairs, children out of wedlock, and a mob-related murder plot. While he was an embarrassment to his profession, he was a bigger-than-life superhero to fans young and old across the nation. The league's racist commissioner desperately wanted the Great Bambino suspended from the game, but the team owners needed Babe; he revolutionized the game and drew huge crowds. Seventy years later, a young, naïve white attorney and his black female client struggle to unravel the mystery of her uncle's death. When Cammie discovers the long held secret of Babe's ancestry, she becomes the target of overzealous sports aficionados and businessmen attempting to save the image of a multibillion dollar sport and industry. A thrilling novel filled with historical facts, this mystery pairs two eras, creating a dramatic read.

- v***v (2065)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
