Description
“Kalteis’s punchy, hard-boiled prose vividly captures the brutality behind the glitz of the Jazz Age.” — firstCLUE
For readers of Elmore Leonard comes a riveting, fast-paced ride through 1920s Prohibition-era Chicago, the epicenter of crime, corruption, and commerce
Trouble has a way of following Huckabee Waller like a shadow. Involved in the death of a gangster in his hometown of New Orleans, Huckabee hops a northbound freight and heads for the promise of Chicago. Tough times force him to make his way bare-knuckle fighting and running booze, and before long he finds himself entangled in the escalating tension between notorious rival gangs and the city’s deadly taxis wars. Caught up in vice and violence, Huckabee lands in the crosshairs of Al Capone.
The smart thing to do would be to get out of Chicago — fast — that is if the life he wants to leave behind doesn’t kill him first.
