Review Quotes
"Wow. The older the sin the longer the shadow. Don't miss this deft and gripping tale of 1920s Baltimore and Parker City today. Bootleggers, lowlifes, a nightclub singer and the cream of society. Are any of us really so different? You won't be able to put this book down." - Peter W. J. Hayes, author of the Silver Falchion-nominated Vic Lenoski Mysteries
