Why keep it secret? How did he do it?Noel accidentally killed a man who was raping a woman in a darkened alley in Chicago — strangely, it happened near Wrigley Field. He stopped the rape, but his index finger was shot off.

Night-Train Hatch struggles with his obsession, but can’t give up the quest to find the man with a missing index finger. Noel pitches for the Cubs, while Night-Train Hatch is closing the dragnet around his murderer. Will the Cubs finally make the World Series? What happens when Hatch meets Noel?
