Saint Mudd

*Full Title:* Saint Mudd *Description:* “Fascinating… A raucous tale of gangsters, newspapermen, corrupt police, and the FBI.” — Minnesota Monthly “Sex, drugs, shoot-outs, and corruption: all the roughness and toughness of the best gangster fiction—with a bittersweet ending in the finest tradition.” — Robert Lacey, author of Little Man: Meyer Lansky and the Gangster Life “At once raw-boned and unflinching… SAINT MUDD succeeds.” — Milwaukee Journal A classic gangster novel. SAINT MUDD is the haunting story of a dying columnist for a dying newspaper in city wallowing in the Great Depression. St. Paul during the 1930s is home to gangsters like John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, and Ma Barker’s boys thriving on a booming economy of prostitution, kidnapping, and robbery. Grover Mudd, the city’s premier reporter, wants nothing more than to put them away forever. But in a city that has the best politicians and police money can buy, Mudd suspects his efforts will lead to a big fat zero. But even a seasoned pro like Grover Mudd, who is certainly no saint, can’t get used to all the dead bodies. With the reluctant help of the FBI, and the conflicted loyalty of a beautiful blond, Mudd targets the sociopathic killers with his own brand of terror. It is a high-stakes, high-risk gamble for the soul of a city, and the odds keep piling up—until Mudd finds out what unimaginable horrors human beings are capable of—including himself. Grover Mudd could end up a saint—or maybe a corpse.
