Spring, 1934. Minneapolis and St. Paul are cities on the edge. Prohibition is over, the O'Connor agreement is collapsing, and the streets are growing more dangerous by the day. Into this volatile mix comes news of a new criminal mastermind - someone quietly taking over the Twin Cities underworld while keeping their identity carefully hidden.

Behind it all is an enemy unlike any the Red Jackal has faced: a scarred, brilliant, and deeply personal adversary with unlimited resources, a meticulously constructed plan, and a score to settle that goes back years.

Set against the authentic backdrop of the 1934 Minneapolis strikes, and the crumbling world of Depression-era organized crime, The Vengeance Affair delivers classic pulp adventure with genuine historical depth.
