The year is 1912. Roosevelt, Taft and Debs are running for the White House. Ty Cobb and Shoeless Joe Jackson are battling for baseball's batting crown. And Mickey Rawlings, a young ballplayer fresh from the bush leagues, is about to get a major league education - when he stumbles on a murder in Fenway Park.

From the old ballparks to the famous Red Sox plaid jackets, Murder at Fenway Park is filled with vivid, glorious details about baseball the way it used to be. Throw in a riveting murder mystery, a blossoming romance, and the irrespressible, unforgettable Mickey Rawlings, and you have one of the most entertaining novels to come down the basepath in many a season.
