In Death Cruise, Reiker takes a luxury Rhine river cruise aboard the Agrippina II with his obsessive former assistant Schneider to solve a slew of murders. Schneider thinks they're on vacation and tumbles into romance; and a young lady gets a second chance at life. In Hotel of Horror, inspired by a true story, Reiker is hired to find a missing wealthy eccentric, but didn't expect the appearance of a lady detective. Science, murder, women's rights and the nature of the beast create a complicated mix.
In Murder in the Cards, a fortune teller foretells murder, and she's fairly accurate. Can Reiker and April stop more before they even happen? Meanwhile, a magician's assistant comes into riches with a deeper meaning. Magic, mystery and money make this a fast-paced ride.
At the end of the nineteenth century, life moved quickly as trains, telephones, electricity and other innovations caught on. Advances in medicine saw a change in the treatment of mental health, advocating sunshine, fresh air and sometimes water therapy or hydrotherapy. The first home gym was invented.
The private detective appeared in dime novels and in person around the mid-1800s. In England, private investigators came into the spotlight after the Jack the Ripper murders in Whitecastle. The first female private detective worked for Pinkerton in 1857, after she convinced the company that there were certain things a woman could do better than a man (socially speaking).
The Reiker For Hire novellas are in English vernacular, about 42,500 words each and incorporate the industry, science trends, styles, moods and attitudes of the times. Enjoy.
