In the final chapter of the historical fiction Galliano Club thriller series, Italian immigrant Luca Lombardo and Chicago bootlegger Benny Rotolo are locked in a battle to control the club, a social hub for Italian mill workers in the upstate town of Lido, New York. Benny wants to turn it into a speakeasy. Luca is desperate for the club to remain the only home he’s ever known.
The advantage lies with Benny because Luca is in jail. He’s on trial for attempted murder after punching out the rich banker who prevented him from eloping with Tess Kennedy. But neither man expected what happens next when Hanna Gorsky turns up in Lido.
Widow of a hitman who worked for Al Capone, Hanna’s hunt for her sister’s killer brings her to Lido where she’ll befriend Tess. As the Galliano Club teeters on the brink of disaster, the two women search for a killer and spring Luca out of jail.
But Hanna alone will force the final showdown and determine the fate of the Galliano Club.
A gripping historical fiction thriller saga perfect for fans of The Godfather, Peaky Blinders and Boardwalk Empire.
