A huge thank you to the publisher, Get Red PR, and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review.

I love a good historical fiction and then you add a deeply layered mystery, sign me up. This book had me on my toes, constantly guessing and each time realizing how wrong I was. A must read!

I enjoyed this historical fiction set during the end of the Great Depression and beyond. Set in the Midwest states of Missouri and Illinois. This book about crime, and bootlegging is full of action. This time period was full of poverty, depression and things one had to do to survive.
I loved hearing the names of Old Time Hollywood legends like Olivia DeHavilland, Errol Flynn and Clark Gable as I enjoy their movies.
The main protagonist, A. J. was orphaned as a child and he struggles during his life to overcome many obstacles.
Thank you Get Red Pr and the author for this advanced copy.
