Genre: Fiction | Mystery
Murder at Fenway Park (#1)
The year is 1912. Roosevelt, Taft and Debs are running for the White House. Ty Cobb and Shoeless Joe Jackson are battling for baseball’s batting crown. And Mickey Rawlings, a young ballplayer fresh from the bush leagues, is about to get a major league education – when he stumbles on a murder in Fenway Park. From the old ballparks to the famous Red Sox plaid jackets, "Murder at Fenway Park" is filled with vivid, glorious details about baseball the way it used to be. Throw in a riveting murder mystery, a blossoming romance, and the irrespressible, unforgettable Mickey Rawlings, and you have one of the most entertaining novels to come down the basepath in many a season.
Murder At Ebbets Field (#2)
It’s the first Saturday in August of 1914. The New York Giants are in first place, the Brooklyn Dodgers are trailing last, and rookie Giant Mickey Rawlings might actually get to play in his first World Series Game. Until he finds the body of an actress – who also happens to be the new owner of the Dodgers – washed up on a Coney Island beach.
Murder At Wrigley Field (#3)
The year is 1918, a time of mixed blessings for Mickey Rawlings–he’s starting for the Cubs and his hitting is at a career high; but his best friend, a rookie named Willie Kaiser, has just been murdered. Now, Mickey’s search for answers will take him much further afield than he ever dreamed he’d go–as a ballplayer and as a man.
Hunting A Detroit Tiger (#4)
Murderer’s Row
It’s 1920, and perennial 25th man Mickey Rawlings has found a spot on the Detroit roster with a .250 average and 20 stolen bases. Respectable numbers for a utility infielder. Unfortunately that doesn’t exempt him from being put in a lineup for murder, even if he’s playing toss with the tempestuous talents of Ty Cobb. Mickey admits he was at a player’s union rally in Fraternity Hall, but he insists he had nothing to do with the bullet that shot organizer Emmett Siever. It turns out convincing his teammates and the front office of his innocence is about as easy as selling a slide into second to a blind ump. Before Mickey’s journeyman career takes one last wrong turn–into a grave–he needs to find the real killer to keep the ball in play and maybe contribute to the Tigers climbing out of last place in the standings.
The Cincinnati Red Stalkings (#5)
The lazy days of June 1921 are dark ones for baseball fans as the trial of the Chicago "Black Sox" players accused of throwing the 1919 World Series begins. But utility infielder Mickey Rawlings thinks he has something to cheer about — playing for the team that won that series, the Cincinnati Reds. Until he gets embroiled in a mix of conspiracy, lies, and murder that can end his career…and his life.
Hanging Curve (#6)
In the bestselling tradition of Caleb Carr’s The Alienist and Barbara Hambly’s Fever Season, comes the latest installment in Tray Soos’s critically acclaimed Mickey Rawlings mystery series. Expertly blending real events with fascinating fiction, Soos delivers a suspenseful, atmospheric slice of little-known American sports history.Mickey Rawlings, utility infielder for the St. Louis Browns, regrets that he’s never had the chance to face some of the game’s best players: those restricted to the Negro Leagues. So he’s eager to accept an invitation to play against the East St. Louis Cubs, a black semi-pro team, even though he knows he’ll be taking the biggest risk of his career. Baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis doesn’t want white major leaguers on the same field with black ball players. The only solution is for Mickey to play under an assumed name.
But it’s April, 1922, and Mickey is about to discover there’s more at stake than winning a baseball game. East St. Louis is a city scarred by the events of 1917, when white residents massacred their black neighbors in the worst explosion of racial violence in American history. Five years later, lingering shadows of hate still hover over the community — and when pitcher Slip Crawford leads his black team to victory, the Ku Klux Klan make their presence known, and Crawford is found dead.
