Описание: In 1968, two remarkable pitchers would dominate the game as well as the broadsheets. One was black, the other white. Bob Gibson, together with the St. Louis Cardinals, embodied an entire generation's hope for integration at a heated moment in American history. Denny McLain, his adversary, was a crass self-promoter who eschewed the team charter and his Detroit Tigers teammates to zip cross-country in his own plane. For one season, the nation watched as these two men and their teams swept their respective league championships to meet at the World Series. Gibson set a major league record that year with a 1.12 ERA. McLain won more than thirty games in 1968, a feat that hadn't been achieved since 1934 and has been untouched since. Together, the two have come to stand as iconic symbols, giving the fans "The Year of the Pitcher" and changing the game. Evoking a nostalgic season and its incredible characters, this is the story of one of the great rivalries in sports, and an indelible portrait of the national pastime during a turbulent year--and the two men who electrified fans from all walks of life.
One quiet Sunday afternoon, Pat McGurn receives a shocking recorded phone call from the Cook County jail in Illinois informing him that his brother's killer has been released from custody. Pat can't believe it. None of it makes sense. His brother, Denny, was run down, killed by not only a man who is an illegal alien but also a convicted felon--and now the man is walking free.
Death in Chicago is a narrative of Pat McGurn's brother's death and the glaring misdeeds of so called justice. Over the course of twenty-five days, Pat fights to keep Denny's killer behind bars, Denny had only been gone two months following the tragedy in Logan Square on Chicago's north side. How could the man responsible for his death be allowed to leave the country?
The deeper Pat digs into the case, the more he comes to realize the decision to release Denny's killer is completely political and orchestrated by the Cook County Board of Commissioners. He won't let them get away with blood on their hands--his brother's blood. He'll find a way to return justice with the help of Viet Nam Marine veterans.
