Crime Fiction

Van Hoke’s Caper. Door County, Wisconsin, 1931. Poor Thumper Van Hoke. He’s been behind the eight-ball all his life; every caper he designs blows up in his face. Now, in the depths of Prohibition, along with his partner Granville “Duke” Dukenfield, Thumper has placed all his bets on rum-running, moonshine, and wildcat beer. All he has to do to succeed is outwit the local Sheriff, the Feds, and the Chicago Mob. Van Hoke’s Caper is a throwback tall tale awash in crime, booze, and humor – a lusty tribute to Wisconsin’s love affair with intoxicating spirits.

Darkness at Death’s Door: Summer, 1971. The roads of Door County, Wisconsin are filling up with tourists, the sun is shining overhead, and the cherry trees are blossoming.
