Rothstein: The Life, Times & Murder of the Criminal Genius Who Fixed the 1919 World Series
David Pietrusza's Rothstein: The Life, Times & Murder of the Criminal Genius Who Fixed the 1919 World Series, a biography of gambler Arnold Rothstein, was published by Carroll & Graf in 2003. It substantially challenged Eliot Asinof's thesis (developed in Eight Men Out) that Rothstein was involved in only one end of the two-pronged Series fix.
It was a finalist for the Mystery Writers of America's Edgar Award for Fact Crime.
