Steve LeviSteve Levi has spent more than 40 years researching and writing about Alaska's history. He specializes in the ground-level approach to history. An excellent example of his in-the-weeds approach is Bonfire Saloon, a saloon-level book of authentic Alasa Gold Rush characters in a Nome saloon on March 3, 1903. His book, The Human Face of the Alaska Gold Rush, is a compendium of people and events usually left out of scholarly books. For fiction, he specializes in the 'impossible crime, ' where the detective must figure out HOW the crime was committed before he can go after the perpetrators. For example, in The Matter of the Vanishing Greyhound, the detective must determine how a Greyhound bus can vanish off the Golden Gate Bridge and, in The Matter of the Departed Diamonds, how $3 million in diamonds can disappear from a locked bank vault.
