YA
Nineteen-year-old Cyrus Nygerski, a washed-up minor league pitcher, meets the mysterious Cassandra and becomes involved in a world of werewolves and time travel. In a parallel story, Cassandra's younger brother relates (in an unconvincing voice) another version of the same events. Cyrus has been featured in two adult novels; the characters, dialogue, and sophisticated plot make this narrative seem more aimed at adults than teens.
