The Magic Bullet

Set in St. Paul, Minnesota, on October 1, 1917, "The Magic Bullet" follows Irisman Shadwell Rafferty, a saloonkeeper and occasional detective, as he investigates the baffling murder of financier Artemis Dodge in his impenetrable penthouse. With no signs of a break-in and a single bullet as the only clue, Rafferty navigates a landscape filled with political intrigue, wartime anxiety, and a host of suspects, including Dodge's widow and a mysterious anarchist. This locked-room mystery, steeped in civil unrest and supported by the figure of Sherlock Holmes, challenges Rafferty to solve one of his most complex cases against a backdrop of a city caught in turmoil.
