CAUGHT STEALING
Book ID/图书代码： 01240004B04804
English Summary/英文概要： It’s three thousand miles from the green fields of glory, where Henry “call me Hank” Thompson once played California baseball, to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where the tenements are old, the rents are high, and the drunks are dirty. But now Hank is here, working as a bartender and taking care of a cat named Bud who is surely going to get him killed.
It begins when Hank’s neighbor, Russ, has to leave town in a rush and hands over Bud in a carrier. But it isn’t until two Russians in tracksuits drag Hank over the bar at the joint where he works and beat him to a pulp that he starts to get the idea: Someone wants something from him. He just doesn’t know what it is, where it is, or how to make them understand he doesn’t have it.
Within twenty-four hours Hank is running over rooftops, swinging his old aluminum bat for the sweet spot of a guy’s head, playing hide and seek with the NYPD, riding the subway with a dead man at his side, and counting a whole lot of cash on a concrete floor.
All because of two cowboys, two Russian mafia men, and some of the weirdest goons ever assembled in one place. All because of Bud. All because once, in another life, in another world, the only thing Hank wanted was to take third base—without getting caught.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 三千英里之外的荣耀绿茵场，曾是一个被球迷们唤作“汉克”汤普森的辉煌加州棒球场，如今他却沦陷在曼哈顿下东区，和那些满身酒气的脏汉们，挤在租金高昂的旧公寓内。但汉克如今还在，作着一份酒保的工作，照顾着日后会让他丢掉性命的，一只名叫巴德的猫。
一切从汉克的邻居罗斯被迫匆忙离开小镇，把巴德托付给他人开始。但这一切却又没有从两个身穿运动服的俄国人把汉克揍得体无完肤，并合力把他从酒吧拖拽出来截止：有人想要从他身上获取些什么东西。汉克不知道那是什么，在哪里，或是如何让这些人明白他其实手里没有这些东西。
一天之内，汉克就跑到了屋顶，用他曾经使用过的铝制球棒朝着那个揍他的家伙头上挥去，与纽约警方玩着猫捉老鼠的游戏，与身旁的一个死人一同坐着地铁，计算着水泥地上突然出现的大量现金。
所有的这一切都是因为两个俄罗斯黑手党牛仔，和聚集在一个地方的，一帮奇怪的暴徒们开始。所有的这一切都因为那只名叫巴德的猫开始。因为一旦你用另一种身份爱另一个世界生活，那就意味着要对过去说再见了，而汉克此时想到的唯一的一件事，就是在了无痕迹的情况下，三垒一击拿下目标。(Sandy)
