Bøger af Troy Soos

The Roaring Twenties: America is dancing to jazz, gangsters are selling bootleg liquor, and the New York Yankees are building a baseball dynasty. In 1923 Yankee Stadium opens and Babe Ruth is about to lead the team to its first world's championship. But the season gets off to an ominous start when a murdered bootlegger is found buried in the new ballpark. Utility infielder Mickey Rawlings, in his first year with the Yankees, is called to investigate and soon gets caught in a crossfire of rival gangsters. The Tomb That Ruth Built is the seventh in Troy Soos's acclaimed Mickey Rawlings baseball mystery series.

""Equal parts baseball and mystery are the perfect proportion."" --Robert ParkerThe Big Dead MachineIt's 1921, and journeyman infielder Mickey Rawlings finds himself on yet another team, the Cincinnati Reds, who everyone remembers for ""winning"" the 1919 World Series against the infamous Chicago Black Sox. In an effort to refurbish their image, Oliver Perrimen, a die-hard Reds fan cooks up a memorabilia exhibit of the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings, who went undefeated in a historic coast-to-coast romp. But before the tour can reach first base, someone strikes Ollie out with a well-placed bullet. Since murder seems to follow Mickey around like a hitting slump he can't quite quit, he starts snagging clues. Soon enough he finds his hands full with a forgotten murder, breaking and entering, and an angry girlfriend. But when the game of his own life is on the line, Mickey Rawlings is a born survivor. At least he hopes. . .Praise for the Mickey Rawlings Baseball Mysteries""Full of life."" --The New York Times Book Review 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
