BE THE ONE by April Smith and read by Linda Hamilton. This audio
is good condition.-----BE THE ONE-----Cassidy Sanderson is a scout for
the Los Angeles Dodgers--the only female scout in the major leagues.
Hard-living and hard-drinking, a gifted athlete herself, she takes
pride in successfully competing in a male world. But recently she has
been losing prospects on the sign, and her job security is teetering on
the edge. When she gets a tip from a close friend and fellow scout
about Alberto Cruz, a young phenom in the Dominican Republic, she
impulsively catches a flight to Santo Domingo--even though it is out of
her territory and she will undoubtedly incur her boss's wrath. If
Alberto Cruz is as good as she's been told, the trip will be worth the
risk. The risk starts quickly. Not only has Cruz "got it all--the
heart, the guts, the aptitude," he may also have "a bad spirit on him."
And he's not the only man Cassidy meets on the island who might change
her life for good or ill. The other is Joe Galinis, a powerful
financier and real estate developer. When Cassidy returns to Los
Angeles, she finds herself entangled in a blackmail scheme laced with
otherworldly vodou and real-life violence: a tightening triangle of
suspicion and deception that leads her to the backrooms [and
backstabbing] of high-stakes sports and finance--where she is about to
discover that there is a thin line between a competitor and a
killer.....
