Hanging Curve: A Mickey Rawlings Baseball Mystery (A\mickey Rawlings Mystery Ser. #6)
by Troy Soos"Equal parts baseball and mystery are the perfect proportion." --Robert Parker A Race To Stay Alive1922. Another year, another team. Utility infielder Mickey Rawlings is now warming the pine for the St. Louis Browns, a team poised to go all the way. Rawlings should be overjoyed with the situation but the lack of playing time has him sneaking off to play incognito in the semi-pros. The competition is just as rough, though. In fact, some of the best players to ever throw a curveball or line up for a swing are his opponents. The only reason they aren't in the majors is because of their team color--black. Turns out that's the least of their worries. When the star pitcher of the Negro East St. Louis Cubs is found lynched after a win, Rawlings has to do everything he can to track down the killer and prevent a repeat of the deadly race riots of 1917. If he can stay alive. . .Praise for the Mickey Rawlings Baseball Mysteries"Full of life." --The New York Times Book Review on Hanging Curve"A richly atmospheric journey through time." --Booklist on Hanging Curve"A perfect book for the rain delay. . .a winner!" --USA Today on Murder at Fenway Park"Delightful. . .mixing suspense, period detail that will leave readers eager for subsequent innings." --Publishers Weekly on Murder at Fenway Park
