NEW: BEGGARS WILL RIDE

A prominent St. Paul businessman found murdered in the red-light district. A bootlegging syndicate capitalizing on a dry country’s limitless thirst for liquor, even if it means poisoning half their clients. And in the middle of it all, two brothers just trying to make a dishonest living. Welcome to Crooks’ Haven.

​

April 1924 – With Prohibition in full swing, America has never been more dry. Or more drunk. Illegal liquor has become big business—and it requires big guns.

​

Niklas and Kessler Kristofferson came home from the Great War determined to never find themselves on the bottom again. The rebuilt machine guns they purloined from the battlefields of France represent their ticket to a better life. Or an early grave.

​

When their deal with the Pig’s Eye Syndicate—machine guns for top-dollar whiskey worth a fortune on the black market—ends in betrayal, it’s time for the brothers to return to war. But the fight was a lot simpler when the enemy wore a uniform, and this enemy’s connections go all the way to the top of this rotten city.

​

Outmatched, but hardly outgunned, the Kristoffersons find themselves marked for death and in the fight of their lives, forced to navigate a treacherous web of alliances to bring down this criminal empire…before they become its latest victims.
