The Heater
by John Conlee

The Heater - John Conlee

Baseball, opera, literary antiquities, and acts of violent retribution all converge in John Conlee’s THE HEATER. Set in the present, this novel traces events through an entire baseball season while at the same time re-enacting the ancient Celtic tale of “Deirdre of the Sorrows.” The novel’s protagonist is Ty Duffy, the opera-loving second baseman of the Bay City Grays, whose unswerving loyalty to his friend and teammate culminates in a violent denouement on a wind-swept island off the west coast of Ireland.

In Roger L. Conlee's new novel, a cop, a spy, a glamorous movie star and a dogged reporter collide in this unconventional book-within-a-book, which is partly alternative history, partly thriller, and partly science fiction. As one reviewer has written, “ Counterclockwise never fails to surprise as each successive layer is peeled back. Michael Crichton, you have company.”
— Walter Haskins

“ Counterclockwise offers a wonderfully compelling portrait of wartime America in the early 1940s.”
— Ty Duffy
