Crime Fiction Perfect For The History Buff
Do you like to genre-bend by mixing historical fiction and crime thrillers? Reading about crime that occurred throughout history is fascinating because not only do our heroes and heroines have to get extra crafty to investigate mysteries without the help of modern technology, but the crimes themselves are often steeped in historical intrigue. Here are six historical thriller and suspense books we highly recommend if you want to take a trip back in time.
Based on a screenplay written by Mario Puzo, author of The Godfather, this novel takes readers to New York City at the height of the Great Depression, when people are desperate and the city's crime families have prospered...but change is coming, especially with the end of the lucrative Prohibition era. Vito Corleone keeps his real business a secret from his four children, but when his 17-year-old son finds out what his father really does, he doesn't listen when his father urges him to pursue lawful business, and his attempts to get into his father's line of work will have deadly consequences.
