Title: The last out
Description: "Royal Cutter had finally cracked the starting lineup in the major leagues. As a 32-year-old rookie, Royal came with a long past in the minors, filled with bus rides and squashed dreams. Yet hours before his first game in right field, Royal is traded to Kansas City. The same city where 25 years before, Royal watched the demise of his own father, an up-and-coming major league baseball player. Drugs. Murder. A life sentence. Now Royal has to prove he belongs in the majors, even as the shadows of his father's darkest days surround his every move where he had once been a prince of the city."--Page 4 cover
