At the turn of the twentieth century, St. Louis, Missouri, was the fourth largest city in the country. For years, it was the westernmost metropolis, known for its manufacturing, beer, railroad hub, music, baseball, World’s Fair, and its romance with the Mississippi. This collection of shocking stories ripped from the headlines of the Gateway City’s seamy past includes tales of cholera epidemics, deadly newspaper-daily duels, ragtime racism, and Spiritualism scuffles. Readers will also meet the formative female figures behind the women’s suffrage movement in St. Louis, and discover how local brewers fought against Prohibition with the help of America’s favorite pastime—baseball.

In 1910, Julia Nye has an unconventional job as a typist for the St. Louis City Police, a first for a woman but not as unconventional as her desire to be a detective like her sheriff father. When her father’s friend, a sheriff in Ste. Genevieve County, dies in a suspicious wagon accident, Julia is excited to investigate along with two male reporter friends. But it turns out the sheriff’s death involves bootlegging. And in 1910, the countryside is a patchwork of wet and dry localities, with prohibition passions threatening the peace. In Ste. Genevieve and St. Louis, police detectives and even Julia’s suffragist housemates make the investigation complicated—and deadly. As she sees her two friends increasingly in danger, Julia worries that her urge to investigate is the cause of the continuing violence. Finding herself attracted to one of the men makes the situation more worrisome. Julia has to decide. She can take the advice of almost everyone to lay low and let the real police detect. Or she can struggle to expose a surprise enemy and push the investigation to a dangerous finish.

A reputation as the town of shoes, booze and blues persists in St. Louis. But a fascinating history waits just beneath the surface in the heart of the city, like the labyrinth of natural limestone caves where Anheuser-Busch got its start. One of the city's Garment District shoe factories was the workplace of a young Tennessee Williams, referenced in his first Broadway play, The Glass Menagerie. Downtown's vibrant African American community was the source and subject of such folk-blues classics as "Frankie and Johnny" and "Stagger Lee," not to mention W.C. Handy's classic "St. Louis Blues." Navigate this hidden heritage of downtown St. Louis with author Maureen Kavanaugh.
