About this ebook
She's still out for justice. A rival vies for his crown. On the dark city streets, no one stays on top for good…
Philadelphia, 1926. Maggie Barnes keeps getting one step closer to putting bootlegger Mickey Duffy behind bars. The next hurdle for her and the ghostly cop by her side is an unreliable and unstable witness. But to finally achieve her goal of justice, she may just have to team up with her enemy's greatest rival.
Mickey Duffy is struggling to hold his underworld empire together. As he fights off small-time bootleggers and his own growing demons, the Baileys make a move to take over his turf. When an assassination attempt on Mickey just misses the mark, he vows to fight back with devastating consequences.
With bullets flying in both directions, can Maggie survive to put Mickey behind bars or will she be caught in the crossfire?

The Roaring Twenties and Prohibition were a fantasy land, coming right after the horrors and social upheaval of World War I. Even a century later, it all seems so exotic. Women got the vote, started working outside the home, and (horrors!) smoked and drank in public places. They even went on unchaperoned dates (gasp)! Corsets were thrown into the back of the closets, and shoes were discovered to be an addictive fashion accessory after hemlines started to rise. And thanks to Prohibition, suddenly it was fashionable to break the law. The music was made in America- ragtime, delta blues, and of course jazz. Cocktails were created to hide the taste of the bathtub gin. Flappers were dancing, beads and fringes flying. Fedoras were tipped. And everyone was riding around in automobiles (aka struggle buggies and I leave it to your imagination why- wink.) The novels I've written grew out of that fascination. If you haven't had a chance to visit my website, wander over and check it out at https://sherilyndecter.com. On it you'll find my blog with posts about 1920s fashion, history, as well as interesting research tidbits that have tweaked my interest. Growing up on the prairies and living next to the ocean, I am a creature of endless horizons. Writing allows me to discover what's just over the next one. My husband and I have three amazing daughters, two spoiled grandchildren, and two bad dogs.
