Jack Louis Big League City

Bol

As Portland reels from drugs and despair, city leaders dream of landing a major league sports team to dazzle investors and forestall economic collapse. Just miles away-but a world apart-families in rural Oregon struggle to survive in a land of dwindling opportunity.When a beloved small-town ballclub faces elimination and a promising young player vanishes, his mother suspects foul play and calls on investigator Jack Louis. What begins as a missing-persons case soon exposes a brutal struggle: real estate moguls from the city battle rival families from wine country, each desperate to turn old fortunes into new power.With the help of opportunistic informants, Jack discovers corruption on a grander scale than he imagined. As he digs deeper, a mysterious woman surfaces with the clues he needs ... if he can keep her alive long enough to talk.Portland's big league dreams ask what Oregon's youth has wondered for years: Is there still a future in the West Coast's last frontier city?
