Inhaltsangabe

CROWLEY'S RENT - A Florian Van Rensenbrink Mystery Cairo, Illinois. 1840s. A boarding house keeper is found dead behind a locked door. The explanation is immediate-and widely accepted. But not everyone believes it. Summoned by the victim's family, Florian Van Rensenbrink arrives in Cairo, a river town where strangers pass through and truth rarely lingers. Inside the boarding house, small details begin to resist explanation, and quiet inconsistencies start to surface. As he examines the scene, the case shifts from simple to uncertain. The town offers answers, but they come too easily-and fail to hold under scrutiny. With limited cooperation and growing unease, Van Rensenbrink begins a methodical investigation into a crime that is more complex than it first appears. Crowley's Rent is a slow-burn historical mystery featuring a confined setting, a precise investigation, and a layered case set along the Mississippi River.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

James Dargan is the author of over thirty books spanning crime, noir, satire, historical fiction, and literary fiction. Known for razor-sharp dialogue, vivid characters, and a knack for weaving grit with dark humour, his work ranges from the hard-boiled streets of the Napoleon Clancy thrillers to the sprawling crime sagas of The Bayside City series, the evocative Latin American novels, and a host of standalone titles. Dargan's novels often drop readers into morally complex worlds where loyalty is fragile, justice is elusive, and survival depends on quick thinking and a little luck. Influenced by the likes of Elmore Leonard, Dennis Lehane, and Cormac McCarthy, his prose balances propulsive storytelling with atmospheric detail, creating stories that are as cinematic as they are immersive. Whether exploring mob wars and political corruption, the quiet desperation of outsiders, or the chaos of history's turning points, Dargan writes with an unflinching eye and a storyteller's instinct for pacing, character, and place. His work is as much about the people caught in the crossfire as it is about the bullets themselves. James Dargan: Writer, Raconteur, Blogger, and Journalist.
