SCOTT'S TULSA
Blackmailers, Floozies, & Murder
by S. L. Chalmers
No reviews yet. Be the first.
In 1948 Tulsa, prostitute murders, blackmailer murders, and a murky communist conspiracy embroil a cynical PI in noir plots and Cold War intrigues. Wyatt Scott navigates all sections of town, from the infamous May Rooms brothel to the Tulsa Club elite.
His investigation intertwines with his ruined baseball career, his WWII code-breaking service in Alaska, and his obsession with a suspicious death there. Past events, including the 1934 Babe Ruth barnstorming tour of Japan and the CIA VENONA file on Soviet spying, play roles.
Readers who want mystery cut with thriller and sprinkled with spies, SCOTT’S TULSA is your book! Len Deighton – Raymond Chandler feel in 1948 Tulsa.

Author note: The characters, story, descriptions, and dialog fit the time period of 1948. The story begins with a murder, and there is another. The first victim is a prostitute and the bordello and its madam are central to the story. There is moral ambiguity about revenge, justice, and the times.
