Doubleheader: Orange, Black and Blue + Blackballed

by Jack Kardiac

Mitch just can't get a break in life. And gambling away the mafia's money tends to make things worse.

Today he'll need to knock it out of the park or get tossed out entirely as he's trying to outwit and outrun the goons at every corner. This former baseball player is striking out on his own and knows how to run the game, but will he wind up safe in the end?

Collecting stories from Jack Kardiac's Snapdragon and Death & Peaches, Doubleheader is the short story collection every baseball and crime fan has been secretly clamoring for.
