Set against the backdrop of the early 1920s Prohibition era in Kansas City, Whiskey & Wry follows the thrilling journey of Adeline Winship, a feisty and determined widow with a sharp wit and independent spirit. After her husband's suicide and wrongful accusation of his murder, Addie secretly runs a lucrative bootlegging operation to support herself. Using her newly forged employment with Lawrence Henry Kance, the man who proved her innocence at trial, as cover for her illicit activities, Addie navigates the vibrant and changing Kansas City landscape with her unique blend of charm, wit, and hidden cunning.

As Addie's bootlegging empire grows, she faces challenges from rival players in the city and must outmaneuver them using her cunning and resourcefulness. Meanwhile, Henry grapples with his own suspicions about Addie's activities, torn between his duty as a detective and his complex feelings for her. Secrets and lies abound as Addie and Henry navigate through dangerous situations, risking their lives to protect their newfound bond.

Whiskey & Wry is a gripping historical fiction novel that explores themes of love, loyalty, equality, and the price of redemption in a time of lawlessness. Join Addie and Henry as they unravel the secrets of 1920s Kansas City in this thrilling tale of deceit, violence, and unexpected romance.
