Mysterious Tales of Old St. Paul

"the summit of St. Paul's" [SIGN]

After one episode, we find ourselves back in Minnesota — this time, talking with longtime author Larry Millett about his latest Shadwell Rafferty book, Mysterious Tales of Old St. Paul.

Those who have followed the nine previous books will have a good sense of this 1890s-era saloon owner who perished in the ninth book (no spoiler there, as it was titled Shadwell Rafferty's Last Case). This latest volume gathers three novellas, casting back to Rafferty's beginnings to recount a trio of intriguing cases that honed his skills before he joined forces with Sherlock Holmes.

In addition, we take a side-tour to talk about architecture (if that's your kind of thing), and the good old days of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota.

We also bring you the Sherlockian news, a trifling podcast review in Madeline Quinones' "A Chance of Listening," and the Canonical Couplet quiz. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive a copy of Mysterious Tales of Old St. Paul. Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by October 29, 2024 at 11:59 a.m. EDT. All listeners are eligible to play.
