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. . .\n\nPraise for the Mickey Rawlings Baseball Mysteries\n\n\"Full of life.\" --The New York Times Book Review on Hanging Curve\n\n\"A richly atmospheric journey through time.\" --Booklist on Hanging Curve\n\n\"A perfect book for the rain delay. . .a winner!\" --USA Today on Murder at Fenway Park\n\n\"Delightful. . .mixing suspense, period detail that will leave readers eager for subsequent innings.\" --Publishers Weekly on Murder at Fenway Park\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0758288336\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0758288336.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Soos, Troy\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
