More about the book
Set in post-Civil War St. Paul, Minnesota, the narrative explores the informal regulation of brothel prostitution by the police. For eighteen years, madams faced monthly charges for operating brothels, effectively paying fines as licensing fees for their illegal activities. This unique arrangement was widely known, with local newspapers extensively covering the vice and its regulation, highlighting the complex interplay between law enforcement and illicit businesses in the city.
