When a routine flight takes an unexpected turn, TJ O'Connell finds himself plunged into a perilous game of corrupt politicians, and the ominous shadows cast by the Chicago mob.

In the midst of economic hardship, TJ takes on what seems like a straightforward job—flying someone to the state capital for a quick $100. Little does he know, this seemingly innocent task will propel him into a treacherous web of mystery involving murder and ruthless mobsters.

As the police struggle to untangle the threads of guilt and innocence, TJ is left to navigate the dangerous labyrinth alone. With each twist and turn, he discovers a city veiled in shadows, where trust is a scarce commodity, even within the ranks of law enforcement.

Determined to solve the case and clear his name, TJ faces a stark choice—run and risk the wrath of those who hold the truth, or confront the danger head-on.

M.J. Finn skillfully weaves a tale of suspense, danger, and intrigue against the backdrop of a bygone era, where the roaring engines of biplanes and the echoes of corruption create a landscape as turbulent as the times.

M.J. Finn is an armchair pilot with a life-long interest in the Golden Age of Air Racing. Growing up in Chicago led to basing leading character TJ O’Connell there and provides an opportunity to describe the vibrant, growing city in the heart of the United States that was more than the stomping grounds for Al Capone and other famous criminals. MJ's favorite mystery authors include Alistair MacLean, Lee Child, James Benn, and Anthony Horowitz. MJ lives near the Connecticut shore with his patient and supporting wife, Debbie. Walks on the beach are an enjoyable way to recharge after a day of writing about fast airplanes and shady criminals.

MJ has been researching racing planes, Chicago, and the criminal element of the 1930's for years, accumulating an extensive library of books and materials. Although these items contribute to the historical accuracy of the series, MJ is not done with them yet (much to Debbie's dismay). Look for supporting articles in a variety of online forums, including interest groups on Facebook and our website for the Barnstorm Squadron. Head there for extensive information on planes, locations, and criminals from the Barnstorming Detective Series.

Great read!

I really enjoyed this second book in M J Finn’s Barnstorming Detective Series! Once again, we follow the exploits of TJ O’Connell, college freshman/experienced pilot/detective wannabee. A seemingly straightforward airplane trip to Springfield (IL) with a paying passenger leads to unexpected danger for our hero. Trouble seems to find TJ at every turn, and he always wants—no, needs—to find solutions or a way out. This time, he gets himself into some deep doo-doo. I couldn’t predict how the story would end (a real plus for me). I love the setting (Chicago in the early 1930s) and all the interesting personalities. Also, the Author Notes at the end are quite interesting. So, big thumbs up from me!

1930s Mobs and Unions

A fast-moving story of corrupt politics, mobs, and unions set in early 1930s Chicago. Throw in a barnstorming pilot and you've got an interesting mix.

It was an exciting historical fiction that may have been more historical than fiction.

A captivating crime noir

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2024

A perfect blend of fiction, history and suspense. Well written with lifelike descriptions that allow you to visualize exactly what the author is describing. Got this for my husband's birthday but was so intrigued I had to read it myself. Finn is definitely a new house favorite!

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2024

I love a good noir-crime book, and MJ Finn never disappoints. Got my hands on this one to do an early read and leave a review, and I'm so glad I did. TJ is back in hot water again, stuck between a rock and a hard place with the mob and corrupt politicians. I don't do spoilers, so you're gonna have to read this one for yourself. Even if you're new to the Barnstorming Detective series, this is a great place to start!
