But just before he stole away on a boat for a chance to play in the Major Leagues in the United States, he saw something — something that would haunt him far more than he ever imagined.

Compelled by his conscience and journalistic instincts, Cal must find out if Prado really saw what he says he saw — and expose a lurking killer in the process.
