Betty Brandt Passick has carved a unique place in historical fiction, blending fact and imagination to capture the essence of small-town America. Since retiring from a Fortune 500 company more than a decade ago, she has devoted herself to writing, with her debut novel, Gangster in Our Midst, inspired by the real-life mystery of Louie La Cava, a man in her hometown of Fairbank, Iowa, who claimed ties to Al Capone. Drawing from her upbringing in a community shaped by both faith and division, Passick crafts characters like Marshal Sweeney Delaney, who embody the moral and social struggles of their times.
Her works extend beyond Prohibition-era stories. In The Black Bag of Dr. Wiltse, she explores the life of a pioneer physician entangled with crime and early forensic science, demonstrating her ability to balance historical accuracy with psychological depth. Meticulous research underpins her novels, from uncovering mob aliases to studying 19th-century medical practices. With a third book in her gangster series on the horizon, Passick continues to deliver narratives that explore crime, morality, and resilience, while her role as a speaker and mentor reflects her commitment to inspiring others.
Passick’s storytelling not only preserves fragments of history but also highlights universal truths about community, faith, and human complexity. Her novels remain a treasure for readers who value the art of turning the past into timeless, thought-provoking tales.
