The dazzling narrator of The Wicked City brings her mesmerizing
voice and indomitable spirit to another Jazz Age tale of
rumrunners, double crosses, and true love, spanning the Eastern
seaboard from Florida to Long Island to Halifax, Nova Scotia. 1924.
Ginger Kelly wakes up in tranquil Cocoa Beach, Florida, having fled
south to safety in the company of disgraced Prohibition agent
Oliver Anson Marshall and her newly-orphaned young sister, Patsy.
But paradise is short-lived. Marshall is reinstated to the agency
with suspicious haste and put to work patrolling for rumrunners on
the high seas, from which he promptly disappears. Gin hurries north
to rescue him, only to be trapped in an agonizing moral quandary by
Marshall's desperate mother. 1998. Ella Dommerich has finally
settled into her new life in Greenwich Village, inside the same
apartment where a certain redheaded flapper lived long ago...and
continues to make her presence known. Having quit her ethically
problematic job at an accounting firm, cut ties with her unfaithful
ex-husband, and begun an epic love affair with Hector, her musician
neighbor, Ella's eager to piece together the history of the
mysterious Gin Kelly, whose only physical trace is a series of rare
vintage photograph cards for which she modeled before she
disappeared. Two women, two generations, two urgent quests. But as
Ginger and Ella track down their separate quarries with increasing
desperation, the mysteries consuming them take on unsettling echoes
of each other, and both women will require all their strength and
ingenuity to outwit a conspiracy spanning decades.
