10. 3/4 through "Double Play" by Robert B. Parker

1947: Jackie Robinson breaks major-league baseball’s color barrier—and changes the world. The event also changes the life of Joseph Burke, veteran of World War II and Robinson’s bodyguard—because under the media spotlight, hard truths are easier than ever to see, and harder to escape. And some can prove fatal.

If you like Parker's 'Spenser' books, this will be another pleasant surprise. Very good!
