The unexpected touches of humor.-Stephanie Jaye Evans Author of Faithful Unto Death, A Sugar Land MysteryIt's the 1920s in an America dizzy with hot music, loose morals, and dangerous opportunities to make money. Two small-town brothers, Vince and Frank Carlucci, cash in on their knowledge of the bootlegging business by targeting an island already controlled by two rival crime syndicates. Little do they realize that soon they will be embroiled in more gunfights, intrigue, and searing romance than either one of them had anticipated. As they juggle violent takeover attempts, local animosity, and uneasy political alliances, each of them experiences love and loyalty in unanticipated ways.Accelerating conflicts propel the two brothers into a desperate confrontation under the turbulent winds of a deadly hurricane. Only then, is the Carlucci betrayal finally concluded.
