"The Ragtime Kid"
It
is the turn of the 20th century and all 15-year-old Brun Campbell

Missouri...to track down the man who would soon be known as the King
of Ragtime, Scott Joplin. Brun finds himself holding the
clues that would clear a friend from murder charges...and would
point the finger of blame squarely at himself and Joplin.

Ragtime Historical Mystery Trilogy and was released by Poisoned
Pen Press on November 4, 2006. NEWLY RELEASED IN
TRADE PAPERBACK FORMAT on October 1, 2008.
The Author:
Larry Karp grew up in Paterson, New Jersey, reading novels during
math class, and spending much of his free time pounding away at an
old Royal manual. Those early novels never quite worked out,
but at the age of eight, Larry did get into print via a
self-written, self-published, self-distributed four-page
neighborhood newspaper which featured a serialized detective story,
"Richard Richard, Private Dick."
