Synopsis

Minneapolis, November 1934. The Depression rages, the Farmer-Labor Party is riding high on election night, and someone is trying to fix the biggest football game in the state's history.

When the Red Jackal rescues a young campaign worker from a vicious beating, he uncovers a conspiracy that reaches from the Gateway District's seediest bars to the skyboxes of Memorial Stadium. The undefeated Minneapolis State Stars are on the cusp of another national championship — but someone wants to make sure they don't cover the spread, and they're willing to hurt anyone who gets in the way.

With the clock ticking and a professional killer loose on a cross-country train, the Jackal must untangle a web of gambling, organized crime, and small-time ambition before an innocent man pays the price — and before the shadow of Doc Marble, silent for six months, makes its presence felt once more.

The Busted Bootleg Affair is the latest entry in the Red Jackal series, blending classic pulp action with the real history of 1930s Minneapolis.

An earlier version of this book was published as Busted Bootleg.
