  <default-description>&lt;p&gt;Chicago, 1930, and following the financial calamity of Black Thursday, Billi is doing everything he can to keep his business afloat. The change in seasons, though, brings him a case that appears to be a true blessing from The Fates. Chicago Cubs Manager Joe McCarthy suspects something fishy with the Baltimore Mariners, a new team in the league, and he's hiring Billi to look into it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;What appears to be the dream job - being paid to research and attend baseball games - turns out to be a nightmare as he discovers one of the Nine Talismans of Acryonis somewhere in play at Wrigley.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;And wouldn't you know it - with two outs and bases loaded, the heavy hitter of the Underworld &quot;Big Al&quot; gets early parole from The Big Dugout and is swinging two in the Batter's Circle.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</default-description>

Some of the best characters from the first book return (Miranda, Mick, Al) and a host of new bizarre and dastardly villains and new charming and funny allies appear in this one.
