- Synopsis
- A headstrong, fast-driving young woman gets pulled into a dangerous bootlegging scheme in this thrilling novella set in glamorous and gritty Prohibition-era New York City, written in an exciting collaboration between bestselling and critically acclaimed authors Fiona Davis and Greg Wands. New York, 1933: America is in its second decade of Prohibition, and its citizens have never been thirstier. Lydia Gardiner is the infamous queenpin of a criminal empire. From her penthouse in New York City&’s ritzy Plaza Hotel, Lydia deals in all the city&’s favorite vices—illegal liquor, drugs, women—ruling with an iron fist, a cold heart, and a knack for beating her coarse male counterparts at their own game. Jo Hayes is an impulsive young woman determined to forge a life as an auto mechanic, but instead finds herself drawn into Lydia&’s orbit following a disastrous car accident. As Lydia takes Jo under her wing, they get pulled into a daring heist that just might bring down the city&’s biggest bootlegger. That is, if they can escape the watchful eye of an up-and-coming NYPD detective with a score to settle. But as the two women flit between shady billiard halls and glitzy soirees, straddling New York&’s highest society and seamiest underworld, they will soon learn that nothing is quite what it seems – and everyone has a hidden agenda.
