The La Rue Family Crime Thriller is a departure from Richard Wake’s World War II fiction. The three books, all published in 2023, follow a family whose criminal enterprise creates conflicts around conquest, power, and rivalry.
The trilogy structure matches the arc of the story: Conquest, Power, and Rivals trace the La Rue family’s rise and the inevitable conflicts that come with it. Wake brings the same attention to plot and setting that marks his historical work, applied here to a crime family saga.
