Surprise! New Titles I Didn't Expect

Last year the book club came across some fun reads and two of those authors have new books in their series. First, there's Steve Hockensmith with his brother detective western series with On the Wrong Track: a mystery. This "Holmes on the Range mystery" is the second novel with "Little Red" and "Big Red" a "Sherlock Holmes/Dr. Watson" type pair in the old West. This time the brothers have taken a security job on a fancy train bound for San Francisco with an assortment of badmen including "a vicious killer hidden somewhere among the colorful passengers." I felt the first book was a welcome change of pace for the group.

Also new is author David Fulmer's Rampart Street with Creole detective Valentin St. Cyr investigating another murder in yesteryear New Orleans. In the third book of the series, St. Cyr is a reluctant participant in a new murder investigation which later connects to even newer murder as the victims are discovered to be previous acquintances.
As I remember the book club has a good time reading about the first book in the series Chasing the Devil's Tail set in the Storyville community of New Orleans. A popular and infamous area with prostitution and other criminal activities, this novel directed me to search for other non-fiction books about Storyville which book club members were able to flip through.
