October 6, 6:00 p.m. St. Paul City Catering. Free.

Beloved local author Larry Millett will launch his newest collection of mystery novellas, Mysterious Tales of Old St. Paul: Three Cases Featuring Shadwell Rafferty, on Sunday, October 6, at 6:00 PM at Saint City Catering (218 7th St E Suite 100, St Paul, MN 55101), hosted and with book sales from SubText Books.

Shadwell Rafferty’s last case may have led to his murder, but naturally—and fortunately, for followers of the indefatigable St. Paul detective—there’s more to the story. Mysterious Tales of Old St. Paul gathers three novellas from Larry Millett, casting back to Rafferty’s beginnings to recount a trio of intriguing cases that honed his skills before he joined forces with Sherlock Holmes.
