NY: Bantam, 1990. 1st ed. Fine in dust jacket with light wear along top edge, one closed tear. MYSTERY SCENE AWARD WINNER, and NOMINATED for the EDGAR AWARD for Best Novel. A thrilling excursion into the violent era of Prohibition-a time when rumrunners ruled.. .and machine gun-toting hoods turned Detroit into a modern-day Dodge City. It's 1928, and Detroit is growing by leaps and bounds. America thunders along on Motor City-made wheels. And while New York and Chicago are just waking up to the bloody hangover of Prohibition, Detroit is filling its bathtubs with outlaw liquor and its pockets with cash. This is newspaperman Constantine "Connie" Minor's beat, and he couldn't have picked a more dangerous one to cover. Now Connie Minor will follow his reporter's nose into this no-man's-land of easy money and sudden death. From sultry Hattie Long's roving whorehouse/speakeasy to the frozen surface of Lake Erie on the embattled Canadian border, Connie will swap secrets and strike bargains with ganglords likeJoey Machine, a modern-day savage with nothing on his mind but blood and money, and tough Prohibition cops like Lieutenant Valery Kozlowski, a man on the take, 260 pounds of hard fat in a fedora.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Near Fine.
