Mysterious Tales of Old Minneapolis

OWNER DIES UNDER STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCES AT MINNEAPOLIS MILL!

HOTEL BELLMAN FOUND DEAD IN OSCAR WILDE’S ROOM!

$10,000 REWARD FOR DISCOVERING MY MURDERER!

These headlines are just the beginning as Larry Millett returns to the scene of the crime in three tales of intrigue and murder in historic Minneapolis. The mind that brought us the intrepid Shadwell Rafferty now introduces three unlikely but talented new detectives—in-laws Sophia Westerly and Annie Nichols, and the incomparable Oscar Wilde—who are thrown into murder investigations amid flour milling, literary culture, and labor organizing in the burgeoning city.

Murder at the Falls takes us to the Perfection Flour Mill at St. Anthony Falls when one owner turns up dead under grotesque circumstances and suspicion lands on the other, plunging the city into a frenzy of dark speculation.

In A Wilde Night at the Nicollet House, Oscar Wilde, in the midst of his 1882 North American tour and spouting witticisms as only he can, teams up with the long-time house detective at the Nicollet House Hotel to search for the murderer of the hotel bell captain found dead in his room.

In The Death Committee, a champion lawyer of the working class, convinced his own murder is imminent, arranges for three citizens to investigate his death, with a $10,000 reward going to the one who finds the killer.

Shining light on the colorful characters and curious corners of Twin Cities history, Mysterious Tales of Old Minneapolis brings the nineteenth-century city to vibrant life (and dastardly death) in the spellbinding style that Larry Millett’s legion of loyal listeners has come to love.
