He's Either Dead or in St. Paul

God must have created Sylvester Hobbs while nursing a hangover. Dangerous and ill-tempered, Sly quickly realizes that life as a gangster in 1928 Prohibition St. Paul isn't all speak easies and hot-and-cold running molls. Sometimes there's Hell to pay. 

After a botched snatch-and-grab, Sly finds a mysterious document on one of his deceased victims. The document, and the possible fortune it represents, grabs hold of Sly and refuses to let go. 

Pinned down by a ruthless Mob boss and a crooked but savvy cop, Sly is forced to kidnap Father Patrick Murphy who alludes to the fact he has prior knowledge of the document. Despite several warnings from Father Murphy to stop following the cursed piece of paper, Sly forges ahead with the frail old priest dragging behind. 

The truth about the document unfolds layer by layer until its true origin is discovered. Sly finds it isn't the document he needed to fear, but who it really belongs to.

Born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota, D. B. Moon was brought up to appreciate meat raffles and pull tabs, same as any fine St. Paulite worth his salt.

Fishing and reading take up a large amount of Moon's free time, mostly because both can be enjoyed with a cold Grain Belt. His favorite literary genres include hard-boiled, mystery, horror, and comedy--anything with dynamic, engaging characters and a twisted plot. An intelligent woman who can turn a form-fitting cocktail dress into a weapon doesn't hurt either.

He lives on a Minnesota lake and tries not to answer his door if at all possible. However, rumor has it he will let you buy him a Sailor Jerry & Coke if and when you find him in some local dive. Look for him in places where the bar top is oversaturated with stale beer and sad stories.
