Ellen Mansoor Collier writes Jazz Age mysteries set in 1920s Galveston, Texas, a port city that rivaled Las Vegas as a haven for organized crime during Prohibition. Drawing from actual historical events, real locations, and figures from the era, her novels blend the atmosphere of soft-boiled detective fiction with carefully researched accounts of rival gangs, bootleggers, and corrupt officials navigating the city's underworld. Collier's work captures a pivotal moment when Galveston earned its reputation as the "Sin City of the Southwest," exploring the dangerous intersections of crime, commerce, and corruption that defined the period.
