A church bell tolls at midnight. A scream resonates; bagpipes skirl—the graveyard freezes over. Villagers whisper of James Miller’s ghost. The year is 1954, and amid sub-zero snowfalls, Christmas shopping pandemonium, demanding concert rehearsals, and a heartbreaking tryst, Rebecca Chase scrouges time to snoop. But snooping invites trouble. Rebecca discovers Lord Linley’s fabled fortune, inciting rogue claimants to eradicate the legitimate heir—along with Rebecca. Can Rebecca outwit her assailants? Can she bring off a successful concert performance; reunite a feuding family; reconcile her romance; resolve the fabled Miller’s haunting of 300 years past—then host the perfect Christmas Day? Not all ends well. But yuletide celebrations bring a reward unexpected.
The decades between the late 1960s counterculture and the advent of steroid use in the late 1980s bought tumult to Major League Baseball. Dock Ellis (Pirates, Yankees) and Dick Allen (Phillies, Cardinals, Dodgers, White Sox) epitomized the era with recreational drug use (Ellis), labor strife (Allen), and the questioning of authority. Both men were Black Power advocates at a time when the movement was growing in baseball. In the 1970s and 1980s, Marvin Miller and the Major League Baseball Players Association fought numerous, mostly victorious battles with MLB and team owners. This book chronicles a turbulent period in baseball, and in American life, that led directly to the performance-enhancing drug era and the dramatically changed nature of the game.
