Saroney’s second novel details the continuing life of Sean Rousseau and his deepening relationship with Merry McEntyre. They face new trials from Merry’s overprotective son and Sean’s discovery of an old and tattered diary recounting a nightmarish tale of an 1897 journey taken by two baseball players and a team follower of the Boston Beaneaters.
The three young men venture into the worst of the Boston slums to drink to their milestone 60th win of the season. But what they encounter that horrifying night is the personification of pure evil. Knowing the potential consequences of what he read, Sean struggles desperately to discredit the narrative as fictional for the salvation of his soul — and for the assurance that those he loves are safe.
Saroney’s first novel, “The Last Dodo Bird,” was published in 2020.
