Troy Soos
I've read all his Mickey Rawlings mysteries and thought they were best when he stuck with historical Dead-ball era characters. Hanging Curve, the sixth and final one in the series (1999) wasn't as compelling, and he hasn't written one since. He has also written a history of 19c New England baseball, and I felt he'd have a goldmine's worth of material from the 19c for some mysteries, but he never tapped that possibility. He's a good, historically factual read, and I recommend him highly. BTW, I think he's a physics teacher in a Florida high school.
Enjoy reading him, Mike
