Produktinformationen zu „Familiar Compound Trickster (ePub)“
After his conflict with Capone, Eliot Ness becomes the public safety director of Cleveland Ohio. He scores resounding victories against corrupt unions and organized crime, but confronts an enemy he might not be able to arrest. A string of grotesque serial killings-bodies dismembered and their parts scattered in an area known as Kingsbury Run-threatens the city. As public pressure mounts for the so-called Mad Butcher's capture, Ness learns of very likely suspect-an alcoholic ex-physician, who calls himself Gaylord Sundheim. However, a potential stumbling block arises. The suspect's is the first cousin of Ness and the mayor's chief political enemy. Can Ness investigate Sundheim without appearing to be waging a smear campaign against a political enemy by attacking a relative who may be a harmless eccentric? Meanwhile, Ness begins suspects that Sundheim may have had an accomplice or a copycat follower. Can Ness unravel the mystery before public pressure and political opposition threaten his career? How will his obsession with this crime affect his already tottering marriage? Based upon the historical case of Eliot Ness and the Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run.
Autoren-Porträt von Kenneth Tucker
Dr. Kenneth Tucker was born December 2, 1940, in Louisville, Kentucky. In 1970 he received his Ph. D. from the University of Kentucky and was employed by Murray State University. He specialized in teaching Shakespeare and literature of the English Renaissance. He has written articles on diverse writers and continues to write reviews for The Shakespeare Newsletter. Upon retiring, Dr. Tucker has devoted himself to writing, producing Eliot Ness and the Untouchables and Shakespeare and Jungian Typology. Among his novels are A Wilderness of Tigers, based upon the savage rampage of Kentucky's Harpe brothers, The Grave and the Figure Eight, a retelling of the Tristan-Isolde story set in Kentucky, and The Fall of the House of Spade, a tale of murder and revenge set in Western Kentucky. A Kentucky Colonel in King Arthur's Court is a very different sort of novel, a comical fantasy, as is its sequel A Kentucky Colonel in Darkest Africa. Among his more recent books are Hell is Where the Heart Is, a spoof of university administrations; The Player Gods, a dark fantasy, combining the hardboiled detective novel with dreamlike bizarre events; and A Spider Spinning Daydreams, and other tales¿bizarre, realistic, humorous and weird. A Kentucky Colonel in Wagner Land completes the "Hal Morgan" or "the Kentucky Colonel series of comic fantasy novels. Tucker has long been intrigued by the career of Eliot Ness and the case of he Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run. He has dealt with both in his non-fiction book on Ness.
