Troy Soos is a critically acclaimed mystery author, teacher, and former research physicist. He is best known for his Mickey Rawlings series, which places a journeyman baseball player at the center of murder investigations in some of America’s most famous early-twentieth-century ballparks. The series debuted with Murder at Fenway Park in 1994 and continued through stadiums in Brooklyn, Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, and beyond.
Soos also writes the Marshall Webb and Rebecca Davies series, set in turn-of-the-century New York, where a muckraking journalist and a social worker investigate crimes amid the city’s immigrant communities and Gilded Age corruption. That series began with Island of Tears in 2001 and ran through four novels.
His novels have been reviewed in the New York Times, Boston Globe, and USA Today. He is a member of the Mystery Writers of America and the Society for American Baseball Research. He has also written non-fiction about baseball history, including Before the Curse, a study of early Boston Red Sox baseball.
