What do you do when your wife takes your child and leaves you alone in a city of ghosts?
Hans van den Broek chooses cricket. Alone in a terrorised city, struggling to understand the disappearance from his life of people, places and feelings, he seeks refuge in the game of his childhood. But New York cricket is a long way from the tranquil sport he grew up with. It's a rough, almost secret game, played in scrubby, marginal urban parks, by people the city doesn't see - people like Chuck Ramkissoon.
Years later, when a body is pulled out of a New York canal, hands tied behind its back, Hans is forced to remember his unusual friendship with Chuck - dreamer, visionary, and perhaps something darker...
