“Harvey blissberg is who I would be if I could hit a major league pitch and was less squeamish about violence,” says R. D. Rosen, author of the Edgar Award—winning series, The Harvey Blissberg Mysteries. R. D. Rosen’s writing career spans mystery novels, narrative nonfiction, humor books, and television, where he was a writer for Saturday Night Live. Strike Three You’re Dead, the first in Rosen’s series featuring major league baseball player Harvey Blissberg, won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel from the Mystery Writers of America in 1985. The four subsequent novels visit the less savory side of sports, including basketball (Fadeaway), and show business (Saturday Night Dead).
