A journalist as well as an author, the American writer Larry Millett has been writing for a number of years now, with a high degree of success, as well as an eye for detail and accuracy, largely due to his background in newspapers and reporting. Writing both fictional and non-fictional works, he combines both fact and fiction in order to create an extremely realistic style that’s well rooted in reality. Adept at crafting murder mysteries as well, he’s no stranger to suspense and intrigue, having crafted a series of Sherlock Holmes novels set in the United States, something which has taken off with a large degree of success. Early and Personal Life. Born in 1946 in Minneapolis, Minnesota in the United States, the American author Larry Millett was born and raised in the area, as he fostered a keen passion for both reading and writing. Whether it was journalism or just plain writing, he always showed a strong interest for the written word, as he continually took in themes and ideas from the world around him. All this helped lead the way to him becoming a more refined writer, with both his style and his tone developing over the following years to come. Graduating with a Bachelor of Arts English degree in 1969, Millett had attended St. John’s University located in Collegeville. This allowed him to further refine his craft, honing his voice, as he created the style that was to become unique to him over the years. With his masters degree which he gained in 1970 from the University of Chicago in Illinois, he would go on to further this in the following years to come. Previously working in journalism, Millett left education going straight into a career working on a paper in 1972, as he stayed at the Pioneer Press till 1984. Going back to university he studied at the University of Michigan gaining a qualification in architecture, something which would also work to inform much of his later writing. Going back to the paper afterwards, he then became an architectural critic there, giving him an insight into historical writing with a certain sense of accuracy rooted in facts. Over time a lot of his work has come to admired within the historical community, with it being constantly referred back to. Whilst he has finished as an architectural critic, he continues to write to this day, with a lot of his fictional works still eagerly awaited by his many keen readers. With an audience that continues to grow, there’s a lot more available on the horizon, as his writing career grows from strength-to-strength. Releasing his first non-fictional book in 1985 he made his initial debut with the title ‘The Curve of the Arch: The Story of Louis Sullivan’s Owatonna Bank’. This was to make his name a writer to respected within the historical community, as he used both his knowledge and expertise to give an insight into an otherwise niche subject. Over the following years this would become his forte, as he managed to create accessible and engaging works that managed to draw the reader in and keep them hooked throughout. Commencing with his first foray into the world of fictional writing in 1996, he began to write his highly popular Sherlock Holmes series. Taking the iconic character he placed him into an American setting, giving it a more specific feel for an American audience. This featured a collection of stories featuring the famous detective, as they remained true to the character, giving him a somewhat different take for a new readership. Winning a number of awards he is not without critical acclaim as well, as he garners the praise of both critics and the general public alike. Combining both his love of history and journalism, he’s created a unique and highly engaging style that’s led him to be one of the most successful voices within his field to date. This looks like it will continue for some time yet, as it appears he’s not stopping anytime soon, with more books set to follow. Sherlock Holmes and the Rune Stone Mystery. Originally published in 1999 on the 1st of October, this was first brought out through the Penguin Books publishing label. Marking the third book in the ongoing ‘Sherlock Holmes in Minnesota’ this sees Larry Millett taking the much loved character and putting him into an environment he knows and grew up in. This then provides the source material with a somewhat different take as, whilst remaining true to the style and tone of the original, it brings something fresh and new to the table. Hired by King Oskar II of Sweden, Sherlock Holmes is tasked with authenticating a mysterious stone that’s just been unearthed by a farmer in Minnesota. Once the stone vanishes though, along with the farmer getting murdered, trouble begins to arise and it is up to Sherlock Holmes to once again crack the case. Assisting him along the way in his investigation is one Shadwell Rafferty; someone well know for his ability to operate discreetly, as they work the case together. Who is behind the murder? Where has the stone vanished to? Just what will become of Sherlock Holmes and the rune stone mystery? Stongwood: A Crime Dossier. First published on the 15th of March in 2014, this was a stand-alone novel from Larry Millett, once again heading back to familiar territory for the author. For avid readers of the the writer this is an indispensable book for those looking to discover his work outside of his Sherlock Holmes series. Whilst it may delve deep into history though and away from the series with which he initially made his name, it does contain many of the now famous trademarked qualities with which the writer came to be known for, notably his accuracy and sense of location. Set in 1903, this follows the aftermath of Michael Masterson’s murder following his apparently violent and abusive relationship with Addie Strongwood. Put on trial for his murder in the first degree, Addie must now testify in her defence as to whether or not it was self-defence, or she did it in a purely cold and calculating manner. Stepping into the action, Sherlock Holmes and Shadwell Rafferty also feature in this case as they are seen to be investigating the case, although they’re sidelined for this case based on a real life story. Will they find out what happened? How much of it was pre-meditated and to what depths did Masterson sink? Can the truth be uncovered when presented with Strongwood: a crime dossier?

The Great Detective is summoned from England to the pinelands of Minnesota by railroad magnate James J. Hill to save the Great Northern Railroad from being set afire and Hill from the epistolary threats of the infamous "Red Demon." Reprint. Tour. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Larry Millett is a columnist for the St. Paul Pioneer Press . From Kirkus Reviews : An urgent, lucrative demand from railroad tycoon James J. Hill sends Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to the pine forests of Minnesota, which a letter-writer calling himself the Red Demon has threatened to set afire, destroying 85 miles of Hill's Eastern Minnesota Railway along with the surrounding landscape. Once ensconced in rustic Hinckley, Holmes and Watson visit a den of iniquity called Mother Mary's, where Watson's person undergoes vile indignities at the hands of Laura and Dora, the Jack Pine Twins; outfit themselves as lumberjacks (``You look quite woodsy,'' Watson tells Holmes) in order to confront a sinister logger in the deep woods, where they're rescued by a messiah in buckskins; and try to read the clues in the disappearance of Hill's agent and the murder of the town marshal (``MARSHAL WILLIAM THOMPSON INCINERATED IN HOME--BULLET IN HIS BRAIN--FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED,'' the Hinckley Enterprise sagely reports before the Red Demon can visit a gruesome, fact-based catastrophe on the train tracks, pine trees, and citizens of Hinckley. Minnesota journalist Millett has mastered neither the cadences nor the exclusions of Watson's narrative--the story is full of tedious details Watson would have excised--but its colorful, improbable incidents and its attention to clues make it a respectable example of mid-grade Sherlockian foolery. A sequel in St. Paul is hinted. -- Copyright ©1996, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved. Sherlock Holmes and the Red Demon.

Sherlock Holmes and the Red Demon. In the summer of 1994, a workman at the historic mansion of railroad baron James J. Hill in St. Paul, Minnesota, stumbles on a long-hidden wall safe. When experts arrive to open the safe and examine its contents, they make an astonishing discovery. There, inside, is a handwritten manuscript bearing the signature of John H. Watson, M.D. The manuscript contains the story of how Sherlock Holmes and Watson traveled to Minnesota to track a murderous arsonist—known only as the Red Demon—who is threatening both Hill and his Great Northern Railway. Set against the backdrop of the real, devastating Hinckley forest fire of 1894, Sherlock Holmes and the Red Demon is the tense and atmospheric first novel in Larry Millett’s classic series of adventures that brought Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to Minnesota.
