Speakeasies. Gangsters. Flappers. In 1918, Kansas City WAS Sin City! Forced to leave home at age fourteen, beautiful Hannah Glidden struggles to survive, but with help from her childhood friend, Meg, mistress to a wealthy married man and her roommate, the irrepressible, flapper extraordinaire, Rosie, she thrives as a cabaret singer. The early 20's roared. Fortunes were made or lost in a single night, and criminals mingled with kings. Neither the government nor Prohibition could stop the flow of alcohol or the lure of the "good life." Handsome rum runner Johnny Gallo is part of New York's large, growing criminal empire where the sky is the limit. The ruthless Gallo has a knack for knowing the right people, and a single-minded devotion to getting what he wants. And, he wants Hannah. Hannah goes with Johnny to Al Capone's Chicago and eventually to Brooklyn, New York where she basks in the glamorous shadow world of gangsters and their gals. Johnny becomes a force to be reckoned with, but in time the free-spirited Hannah clashes with her controlling lover. She faces the dark side of her dreams but dares to defy Johnny despite the dangers and unwittingly discovers that for her, dying just might be the only true path to freedom after all.
Autorenporträt
Anna Brentwood grew up in Philadelphia amidst a large family of colorful characters--think Godfather, Yentil or Meet The Fockers. She especially enjoyed meeting and marrying her hero, a former Navy Seal because not only did he save her from her mother's diabolical attempts at matchmaking, he gave her two beautiful children, a menagerie of animals and fulfilled many of her greatest dreams.
