Sheldon Russell
Dear Librarian, Hook Runyon is unlike any protagonist you've ever read. A book collector and moonshine aficionado, this 1940s one-armed railroad detective takes cues from his gut and has an unusual view of humanity and morality. In my follow-up to The Yard Dog, my mystery debut that received great reviews and an Oklahoma Book Award nomination, I invite you onto THE INSANE TRAIN headed toward Oklahoma filled with refugees of a burned-to-the-ground insane asylum. The passengers' mental states are the least of Hook's problems, however, as several of them wind up dead. The story is based on actual events that happened in Oklahoma in the early 1900s. ". . . outstanding. . . Russell imbues even bit characters with personality." – Starred review, Publishers Weekly "Russell's engrossing mystery casts light on a little-known corner of American history."
