The Cincinnati Red Stalkings: A Mickey Rawlings Baseball Mystery - Paperback
by Troy Soos (Author)
""Equal parts baseball and mystery are the perfect proportion."" --Robert Parker
The Big Dead Machine
It'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. . .

Troy Soos's Mickey 50Rawlings baseball mysteries are "a perfect marriage between baseball and mystery fiction" (Mystery Readers Journal). Now, with THE CINCINNATI RED STALKINGS, he gives us another intriguing mystery that's sure to win fans for this evocative series.
After winning the 1919 World Series, Cincinnati Reds utility infielder Mickey Rawlings thinks he has something to cheer about -- until he gets involved in murder. It starts when Mickey Rawlings volunteers to help Oliver Perriman, a die-hard Reds fan, organize an exhibit of memorabilia to honor the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings. But Perriman gets shot to death and Mickey is next in the line of fire. In Perriman's collection are the explosive clues to a fifty-year-old mystery -- the death of a Red Stockings fan -- and the disappearance of "substitute" player Dick Hurley -- the Mickey Rawlings of his time. As Mickey sets out to solve both the old crime and Perriman's murder, he soon finds himself embroiled in a mix of conspiracy, lies, and murder that can end his career...and his life.
