Requirements: .ePUB Reader | 1.6 MB
Overview: Erik Rivenes has been entrenched in crime history since the early 90’s, when, fresh from college, he started a tour company devoted to 1920s and 30s bank-robbing gangsters.
He shares his time between his beloved native state of Minnesota, Taipei, Taiwan (where he taught for many years), and Portland, Oregon.
His first historic crime series, starting with the novel "The Big Mitt", focuses on both real and fictional characters in 1901, Minneapolis. History and imagination weave together to paint a dark and engaging world of brothels, saloons and a political machine intent on burning a path of corruption through the city.
Genre: Mystery Historical
The Big Mitt (#1) Life was finally looking good for Harm Queen when New Year’s Day 1901 dawned over Minneapolis. His old crony "Doc" Ames had just been elected mayor. Queen’s promotion to chief of detectives—and a chance to line his pockets—was in the bag. Then, a gruesome crime at a Hell’s Half Acre brothel brings Queen’s ambitions to a screeching halt. The mayor’s brother and Queen’s new boss, Colonel Fred Ames, seems hell-bent on thwarting his investigation. To make matters even more difficult, Queen’s courtship of Karoline, an upright young Norwegian woman, is imperiled by the appearance of a seductive prostitute with her own game to play. As Queen digs deeper among the gangsters, gaslights and political machinations of turn-of-the-century Minneapolis, he finds himself on the trail of a sinister hobo with apocalyptic ambitions. In The Big Mitt, Erik Rivenes shines a colorful light on a treacherous and corrupt chapter from a great city’s forgotten past.
Ill-Fame (#2) It’s 1901, and Minneapolis’s most infamous detective, Harm Queen, is pulled by unfinished business into hostile rival city Saint Paul. When he attempts to rescue a prostitute, things take a terrible turn, forcing him to rely on guile and instinct to elude a host of dangerous enemies. Still worse, Queen falls into an unrequited love with the woman he’s desperately trying to protect.
Ill-Fame twists through a dark world of high-scale brothels, cunning anarchists, dirty policemen and crazed gangsters. It’s a whirlwind ride through the seedy underside of turn-of-the-century urban Minnesota, during a time when corruption and vice ran rampant through the Twin Cities’ crooked streets.
