In sports there are lies, damned lies, and statistics. Joe DiMaggio’s fifty-six-game hitting streak was magical. The three-point shot is an essential part of NBA basketball. Babe Ruth shouldn’t have attempted to steal second base in the ninth inning of the 1926 World Series. Scientist and researcher Sheldon Hirsch has taken a decidedly unorthodox approach to sports history. He looks at myths, legends, conventional wisdom, shibboleths, and firm convictions of all kinds that sports lovers hold to be true, and demonstrates how analysis of facts and figures disproves what tradition—and sportswriters—would have us believe. Divided into three parts, on baseball, basketball, and football, Hot Hands, Draft Hype, and DiMaggio’s Streak contains enough clear-sightedness and shocking conclusions to delight any sports lover.

The relative peace is shattered when Matthew Puryear, the children's father, is released from prison with a weakening grasp of reality, after years of making veiled threats against his children. Although Matthew will be spending the beginning of his freedom in a halfway house in another part of the state, there is nothing to keep him from eventually returning home, if he so desires. Within a week of his release, Matthew has vanished without a trace. More disappearances soon follow, and the police find themselves searching for missing people on multiple fronts.

They will not be there long before the situation comes to a head.
