DO YOU FEEL THE EXCITEMENT PUMPING THROUGH YOUR BONES? When they return, Roger, the Wolves team manager, is dead, his eyeballs ripped out and set atop the plaque.ĪND THAT’S WHERE WE’RE LEFT. During the ceremony, a car accident happens nearby and the group rushes to help. They decide to draw him out, by holding a ceremony at the place of death for the young girl, not caring that it will upset the Nitinat Tribe and only serve to further anger the killer. When the group reassembles, they realize it’s a man, nothing but a mortal man, doing this "Wolf Dance” and sending people to their death. A dance where the shaman calls spirits home! This is a huge development! He discovers that the main ceremony of the Nitinat people was the Dance Ceremony, or, in English, The Wolf Dance. Roth, Jackie Cannon’s caretaker, just happens to really be into Native American history and he goes searching through his books on the Nitinat.
In the most terrifying scene in the book, the guys all go to the local newspaper and have to search through every single day’s copy because this is 1988 and the internet doesn’t exist yet.ĭuring this, the Oaktown Wolves hold an autograph session and a riot breaks out as a woman accuses Julie Novick, the team’s mascot, of being the werewolf? It’s confusing.īack to the real plot, Dr. Instead, it’s really "Nitinat tribe shaman calls spirits home."īut what does that mean? Dominic remembers that there was a young Nitinat girl who died, her body never recovered from the trash dump, in…you guessed it, 1963. Because I would have gone and arrested the first Cal Sprtome I found. Or, the Nitinat tribe shaman, Cal Sprtome. Jackie Cannon said “NITINATSHAMANCALSPRTOME." They think it’s gibberish until they sit down to really listen to it. Though he’s a rambling, incoherent mess (as usual), the group asks him questions, using a tape recorder so they can play it back later. I don’t know what “sheet restraining” is, but it sounds like the softest, most comfortable way to be restrained. The section starts with Dominic, Tournier, and his chauffeur/first class detective, Lambert, looking for Jackie Cannon, hoping the old alcoholic can shed some light onto how the 1963 championship team ‘won death.’ They search around until they find him “sheet restrained” in a detox center for his addiction to alcohol. The curse will be never being able to tell people, “I once read a book about a baseball werewolf”), things really heated up this time around.Ĭheck out the week one and week two discussions to get caught up.
For those reading along (and I curse those who aren’t. The penultimate discussion of Frank King's Southpaw, about a werewolf terrorizing a small baseball community. Sadly, there is no Adam Laroche in this book.
