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
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?
