Tinder Street: Tinder Street Saga Book One

Author: Nick RussellFREEHistorical German Fiction

A simple trip to town, a chance meeting with a pretty young woman, and a few words was all it took for Lucas Wirtz to flee his family farm and the abusive father who dominated it. Following Rachel McNally to the big city, he had no idea how much his life and the world around him would change. šŸš‚

Chronicling the days leading up to World War I and the events that followed, Tinder Street is the first book in a saga that will take readers from rural farms to a major industrial city in the Midwest, across an ocean where German U-boats lurk waiting for targets, to the bloody trench warfare of France, and home again. āš”ļø

And of how, back at home, the soldiers of a victorious Army try to put their experiences behind them and pick up the pieces of the lives they once had, to look toward a future bright with promise. Lucas was one of those soldiers, a man who hated the thought of killing, but did his duty. A duty that would haunt him long after the last shots were fired. šŸ’”

This is also the story of the simple working class people who built America. Farmers, factory workers, streetcar conductors, midwives, and public servants. Their joys and sorrows, their wins and losses, and how these people who struggled together to build a better life for themselves and their children changed a place named Tinder Street to Tender Street, a reflection of one family’s devotion to their neighbors. šŸ˜ļø

This is American history from the ground level, following farmers, factory workers, and families as they navigate industrialization, war, and the dream of building something better. The transformation of Tinder Street to Tender Street symbolizes community resilience and human connection.

Chief Joseph and the Flight of the Nez Perce is a grand saga of a pivotal time in our nation’s history. Its pages are alive with the presence of Lewis and Clark, General William Tecumseh Sherman, General George Armstrong Custer, and Sitting Bull. Its events brush against the California Gold Rush, the American Civil War, the great western pioneer migration, and the building of the telegraph and the transcontinental railroad. ⚔

The next thing I knew, I was on a cross-country drive to New Hampshire where I’d be moving in to look after Scottie until I could get him into a group home. The last thing I ever expected? I wouldn’t be taking care of him alone. ⚔

Josh Mathers, my fiancé’s best friend—who also happened to be my sworn enemy—insisted he was the better person for the job. He told me to go back to California, and I told him where he could stick that demand. 😤

Our disdain for each other wasn’t anything new. It dated back to a text I’d accidentally read years ago. We hated each other. But we both loved Scottie, so neither of us budged. šŸ’•

Now we were living together in a tiny house—with one available bedroom. Thank goodness it was only temporary. Over time, I realized the broody jerk I thought I knew was different than I’d imagined. šŸ

A gentle breeze blew her blonde hair across her face, her glazed eyes staring blankly into the sunset. Her small frame looked lost hanging from the large oak tree. On the branch next to her was a worn child’s rope swing. She looked too young and beautiful to be dead. šŸ’”

When the body of a woman is found hanging from a tree in her front garden, rookie Detective Morgan Brookes is first on the scene. But Olivia Potter is past saving. And when her husband and daughters cannot be traced, Morgan knows there is more to this tragedy. šŸ”

And then she finds them. Lying huddled together in the dark basement, each of their faces covered with a small cotton cloth, their bodies cold to the touch. But as Morgan kneels beside the family, she realises that one of the girls is still breathing. šŸ’€

As she holds Bronte’s fragile hand in hers, begging her to hold on, she vows to find out who has done this. Every day Morgan wakes at 4.25 a.m., her old insomnia now mixed with a new fixation on the case. But every clue about the murdered family leads to a dead end. 😱

Until, trawling through old files, she discovers a link to a cold case from years ago. Another family was found murdered, their innocent faces covered with white cloths. ⚔

Helen Phifer launches her Detective Morgan Brookes series with a police procedural featuring a rookie detective’s first major case—a family massacre with one survivor. Phifer creates atmospheric crime fiction where past and present cases connect, featuring a detective whose insomnia and obsessive dedication drive her investigation. The detail of faces covered with white cloths links to a cold case, suggesting a serial killer. Morgan’s determination to get justice for the sole survivor—whose hand she held as the girl clung to life—adds emotional stakes to the procedural investigation. Expect dark crimes, cold case connections, and a detective whose personal demons fuel her professional drive.
