The Tinder Street Saga is a departure from Nick Russell’s mystery fiction, telling the story of an American family across multiple decades. The six-book series began with Tinder Street in 2020 and follows the family through distinct historical periods. The Good Years, Boom And Bust, The Hard Years, A Changing World, and The War Years each cover a different era in the family’s history.
The series allows Russell to apply his strong sense of American place and culture to a historical canvas rather than a crime plot. Each book advances the family story while capturing the feel of its specific time period. The saga format means earlier books lay groundwork that pays off in later installments, making this a series best read from beginning to end.
