Synopsis

THE STUDIO MAN - A Florian Van Rensenbrink Mystery

Cincinnati, Ohio. 1840s.

A portrait painter is found dead in his studio.
At first glance, it appears to be a robbery.

But the evidence suggests otherwise.

Florian Van Rensenbrink is called to Cincinnati, a growing city where identities shift easily and connections are rarely clear. At the scene, a series of unusual details begins to emerge-each pointing away from a simple explanation.

Following the trail through boarding houses, inns, and river routes, he uncovers patterns linking people who should have no connection at all.

In a city defined by movement and anonymity, establishing the truth becomes increasingly difficult.

The Studio Man is a historical mystery built on identity, observation, and a widening investigation across an early American city.

About the Author

James Dargan is the author of over thirty books spanning crime, noir, satire, historical fiction, and literary fiction. Known for razor-sharp dialogue, vivid characters, and a knack for weaving grit with dark humour, his work ranges from the hard-boiled streets of the Napoleon Clancy thrillers to the sprawling crime sagas of The Bayside City series, the evocative Latin American novels, and a host of standalone titles.

Dargan's novels often drop readers into morally complex worlds where loyalty is fragile, justice is elusive, and survival depends on quick thinking and a little luck. Influenced by the likes of Elmore Leonard, Dennis Lehane, and Cormac McCarthy, his prose balances propulsive storytelling with atmospheric detail, creating stories that are as cinematic as they are immersive.

Whether exploring mob wars and political corruption, the quiet desperation of outsiders, or the chaos of history's turning points, Dargan writes with an unflinching eye and a storyteller's instinct for pacing, character, and place. His work is as much about the people caught in the crossfire as it is about the bullets themselves.
