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

Anson Marshall, a steadfast Prohibition agent who happens to hail from one of

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?
