A Red Sox rookie is accused of murder in the first Mickey Rawlings historical mystery “that will leave readers eager for subsequent innings” (Publishers Weekly).  Boston, 1912. Fenway has just opened, Ty Cobb is a nationwide sensation, and rookie Mickey Rawlings has finally made it to the majors. But just when he sets foot inside the confines of the green monster, his all-star dreams come crashing down—Rawlings is fingered for the monstrous murder of his teammate Red Corriden.   Sure, someone decided to use Red for batting practice. But just because Rawlings has fouled off a lot of balls in his time doesn’t mean the cops have to be as blind as a rookie ump when it comes to his innocence. With no one watching his back, Rawlings has no choice but to switch his baseball cap for a sleuthing hat to clear his name. Otherwise, it’s going to be a short season in the majors and a long one behind bars . . .   “Equal parts baseball and mystery are the perfect proportion.” —Robert Parker   “Soos’ delightful debut, mixing suspense, period detail and such legendary baseball greats as Cobb, Walter Johnson, Smokey Joe Wood and Tris Speaker, is a four-bagger.” —Publishers Weekly

For ten nerve-racking days, Mae Cole hadn’t stepped outside the hotel. If the pasty-faced man with the yellow teeth wasn’t watching her, it was someone else, because she was always conscious of eyes following her in the public rooms. She could not trust the staff either—the bellhops, the waiters, the busboys, chambermaids, switchboard operators, or the manager himself. The enemy had connections in high places and money to burn.

When Things Go Really South No one is surprised when feisty Delilah Dickinson opens her own literary travel agency in Atlanta after her divorce. But during her first group's tour of an old plantation modeled after Tara from Gone with the Wind –complete with a full cast of actors–things go south really fast. The actor playing Clark Gable playing Rhett Butler is found dead, apparently the victim of a fatal dose of Southern in-hospitality. Before anyone can even think «Where shall I go? What shall I do?» Delilah finds herself taking over the investigation when the #1 suspect turns out to be her son-in-law. But life starts imitating art when the actors begin taking their roles a little too seriously–believing they actually are Ashley Wilkes, Scarlett O'Hara, and Melanie. Next stop: Sunset Boulevard."Amusing, breathlessly quick." – Publishers Weekly "Liva J. Washburn's mysteries are among the best." – Mystery News "Gone with the Wind fans will cozy up to this tale." –Mystery Scene
