“The Dyersville Kid” by Evan Worth is an exceptionally plausible tale of an undercover NYPD detective and his extraordinarily talented young baseball-playing son. The story picks up as father and son, with mom watching from the bleachers, finish up another practice session fielding fly balls. Arriving at home, the trio is taken by surprise by Johnny Cappozzi and a handful of his favored hit men. Cappozzi has learned that Neil Bass is a detective working to infiltrate his mafia “family”, and he is there to personally take care of detective Bass and all the witnesses present. By virtue of quick reflexes and a little artifice, young Sean Bass manages to escape through an upstairs window, after grabbing a fallen gun and killing Cappozzi’s son. The thugs have already started the house on fire, so they don’t have time to make sure the kid is dead, and hurry away from the crime scene with the body of Johnny Jr. in the trunk.
Years pass. Young Sean Bass has ceased to exist, after his testimony put away the Cappozzi gang for 10 years. He has been unofficially adopted by “Uncle” Max Davis, and taken the name Lenny Davis. He maintained a low profile all through High School, and spent his time working on Max’s farm. But baseball was in his blood, and one day he just could not pass up an opportunity to show the world how good he really was. The whole world sits up and takes notice, including Johnny Cappozzi who still runs his mafia family from inside prison walls. Will Sean, aka Lenny Davis, finally pay for his role in taking Cappozzi out of circulation for 10 years? Will he be made to atone for killing Cappozzi's kid? Or will he manage to maintain his alias, and continue playing for the New York Mets? The author has crafted a superbly believable scenario, with authentic characters and credible situations. I recommend this book for all fans of crime stories or sports stories. This is a well-written, engaging tale of suspense, that will hold you firmly in its grasp until the last pages.
