I don't know if anyone else has read any of the Troy Soos mysteries
starting with Murder at Fenway Park, but I would consider this series
hard-boiled. It is about a ballplayer, Mickey Rawlings, who is a
baseball player in the 1910s. He always seems to get involved with
murder no matter what team he is playing for. I have read the first 3
and am starting on the 4th. I think he is an excellent author, a little
romance, a lot of baseball history, back when baseball was really tough
to stay in, and good plots. Any other opinions?
