Larry Millett is author of ten mysteries that feature Sherlock Holmes and St. Paul detective Shadwell Rafferty, including the collection Mysterious Tales of Old St. Paul, and his nonfiction works include Once There Were Castles and Minnesota Modern, winner of a Minnesota Book Award-all from the University of Minnesota Press.

"A master of Minneapolis character, Larry Millett presents three fun, fast tales of lively historical crime fiction. It's all here: murder, mystery, corruption, chicanery, the river, the mills, the city, and the social strata in one excellent volume." - Carl Brookins, author of Sins of Edom "So many glowing adjectives could be used to describe Larry Millett’s Mysterious Tales of Old Minneapolis: fascinating, enthralling, entertaining, riveting, and when Oscar Wilde discovers a dead body in his hotel room during a brief trip to the city, delightful! Millett proves himself to be a master storyteller as he chronicles three distinct Sherlock Holmesian murder mysteries that have little in common except the City of Lakes before the turn of the last century. And their unique protagonists - a ‘fantastic accident’ of a woman, her daughter-in-law, and a reporter-turned-detective - could easily command their own books." - David Housewright, Edgar Award–winning author of Them Bones"This is masterful mystery writing, both engaging and enjoyable. Highly recommended." —Thunder Bay Chronicle-Journal
