Be the One

The only female scout in the majors, hard-living Cassidy Sanderson impulsively hops a plane to the Dominican Republic to snatch up young phenom Alberto Cruz for the Los Angeles Dodgers. But Cruz may have something even Cassidy’s well-trained eye can’t catch -- ＂a bad spirit on him＂ -- and when she tangles with Joe Galanis, a powerful real estate developer, she becomes ensnared in a tightening triangle of blackmail, voodoo, and violence. Inside the back rooms of high-stakes sports and high finance, Cassidy discovers a fine line exists between competitor and killer.
