The Chicago Mysteries: A Silas Quinn Historical Mystery Series
Step into the shadows of 1890s Chicago, where science meets suspicion, and justice walks a crooked line...
Detective Silas Quinn-college-educated, scientifically trained, and unrelenting in pursuit of the truth-is a new kind of policeman for a new kind of city. In a booming, corrupt, and combustible Chicago, Quinn applies logic and innovation to cases where the line between man and machine, labor and capital, crime and conscience blurs beyond recognition. Book One: The Cold Science of Murder
Step into the shadows of 1890s Chicago, where science meets suspicion, and justice walks a crooked line...
Detective Silas Quinn-college-educated, scientifically trained, and unrelenting in pursuit of the truth-is a new kind of policeman for a new kind of city. In a booming, corrupt, and combustible Chicago, Quinn applies logic and innovation to cases where the line between man and machine, labor and capital, crime and conscience blurs beyond recognition. Book One: The Cold Science of Murder
When the body of a disfigured German machinist is discovered in a South Side alley, the case appears simple-until evidence of industrial espionage, labor unrest, and a missing scientific patent draws Quinn and his unlikely allies-including tough Irish sergeant Tommy Rourke, brilliant medical examiner Dr. Adelaide Moore, and street-smart reporter Frankie Malone-into a labyrinth of corruption tied to the city's most powerful interests.
As the team uncovers a conspiracy built on broken workers and stolen ideas, they must navigate a gritty world of Pinkerton agents, anarchist enclaves, and the fire-prone underbelly of Chicago's meatpacking empire. Book Two: The Iron Confederacy
Months later, the murder of another machinist-burned and left near the stockyards-draws Quinn into a new and even deadlier game. Warehouse fires, missing ledgers, and a mysterious new invention hint at sabotage and a war over Chicago's industrial future. With labor riots looming and enemies closing in, Quinn and his team must uncover the truth behind the so-called Iron Confederacy before the city erupts. Authentic. Atmospheric. Addictive.
Each chapter delivers vivid historical detail, real-world locations, and complex characters navigating the harsh realities of Gilded Age Chicago. Perfect for fans of Caleb Carr, C.S. Harris, and Anne Perry, The Chicago Mysteries immerse readers in a city on the edge-and a detective who refuses to look away.
