Summary:


It is 1947 when Joseph Burke, ex-Marine, ex-husband, ex-somebodyis hired as a bodyguard to protect Lauren Roach, 25 and spoiled rotten. The unlikely duo becomes entangled with Burkes boyhood hero, color-barrier breaking baseball player Jackie Robinson, in a story that is both thrilling and engaging. It is in the historical character Jackie Robinson that Mr. Parker finds inspiration and Joseph Burke may find his redemption.


This is a work of fiction about a real man. Most of what Ive written Ive made up. I have, however, attempted to render Jackie Robinson accurately. As he was, or as I imagined him to be, in 1947, when I was turning 15, and he was changing the world. The rest is altogether fiction. It may be more Burkes story then Jackies story. But, without Jackie, Burke would have had no story. And neither would I. Robert B Parker.
