Saint Mudd: A Novel of Gangsters and Saints Book

The double murder was pretty gruesome, but not unusual for St. Paul wallowing in the Great Depression. Grover Mudd, the city's premier reporter, wanted nothing more than to finger the killers and help put them away forever. But in a district that had the best politicians and police money could buy...and the hometown boys were world-infamous kings of crime like Dillinger and Baby Face Nelson thriving on a booming economy of bootlegging, prostitution and robbery... Mudd knew that his efforts would probably lead to a big fatso zero.

But even a hard, seasoned guy like Mudd, who didn't shock easy and certainly was no saint, couldn't get used to dead bodies. With the reluctant help of the F.B.I., the conflicted loyalty of a beautiful blond moll, and the hesitant encouragement of his own gentle mistress, Mudd targeted the sociopathic killers with his own brand of terror. Still the odds kept piling up and up... until Mudd found out what unimaginable deeds human beings were capable of - including himself...

Filled with such historical characters as John Dillinger and Baby Face Nelson and strewn with authentic period details, Saint Mudd is a novel of gangsters and saints set in the 1930s. Grover Mudd won't rest until he cleans up all the crooked cops, dirty politicians and criminals in his hometown.
