Murder is his job.
The veteran crime reporter at a fictional newspaper in Butte, Montana, writes about a series of murders that shake the Mining City in 1954. Kieran “Red” Maguire turns out story after story on his battered typewriter as the killer remains at large. In Mystery of the Purple Roses, Maguire becomes a sleuth, tracking evidence to its improbable conclusion.
Butte’s rough-and-tumble history provides an alluring setting for a murder mystery.
