Gin Kelly, the wicked redhead, is back! Readers will delight in
next installment of the Wicked City series by New York Times
bestselling author Beatriz Williams. June 1925. Audacious
Appalachian flapper Geneva "Gin" Kelly prepares to trade her
high-flying ways for respectable marriage to Oliver Anson Marshall,
a steadfast Prohibition agent who happens to hail from one of New
York's most distinguished families. But just as wedding bells
chime, the head of the notorious East Coast rum-running racket-and
Anson's mortal enemy-turns up murdered at a society funeral, and
their short-lived honeymoon bliss goes up in a spectacular blaze
that sends Anson back undercover...and into the jaws of a trap from
which not even Gin can rescue him. As violence explodes around her,
Gin must summon all her considerable moxie to trace the tentacles
of this sinister organization back to their shocking source, and
face down a legendary American family at a rigged game it has no
intention of losing. June 1998. When Ella Dommerich's
ninetysomething society queen aunt Julie ropes her into digging up
dirt on Senator (and Presidential candidate) Franklin Hardcastle in
order to settle old family scores, she couldn't be less
enthusiastic. Pregnant Ella's recently ditched her unfaithful
husband and settled into cozy-if complicated-domesticity with her
almost-too-good-to-be-true musician boyfriend, Hector. But then the
Hardcastle secrets lead to a web of shady dealings Ella's uncovered
in her job as a financial analyst, and the bodies start to tumble
out of the venerable woodwork. With the help of her ex-husband and
her mysterious connection to a certain redheaded flapper, Ella digs
up more than mere dirt...only to discover herself standing alone
between a legendarily ruthless family and the prize it's sought for
generations. What ugly secrets lurk in the opulent enclaves-and
bank accounts--of America's richest families? And can two
determined women from two different generations thwart the
murderous legacy of the demon liquor?
