BOOK 1: MURDER AT THE GALLIANO CLUB
Winner, 2023 Silver Falchion Award for Best Historical
Lido, New York. 1926. Luca Lombardo is the jack-of-all-trades at the Galliano Club, a social hub for Italian mill workers. He’ll do whatever it takes to keep it afloat, including staying silent about a murder. From her apartment over the club, Ruth Cross witnessed the crime, but a scandalous past keeps her quiet. Could hitman Benny Rotolo be involved? Run out of Chicago by Al Capone, Benny fled to Lido determined to establish his own bootlegging empire. The longer the murder at the Galliano Club goes unsolved, the bigger the trap of lies.

Book 2: BLACKMAIL AT THE GALLIANO CLUB
Blackmail letters land on the Galliano Club’s doorstep. Explosions follow. Will the club burn before Luca Lombardo figures out who is behind the threats? Warning: Blackmail is contagious. Police officer Sean O’Malley uses Ruth Cross’s past against her to get what he wants. Chicago hitman Benny Rotolo dabbles in the extortion racket, too. As blackmail terrifies everyone connected to the Galliano Club, murder may be the only way out.

Widow of a Chicago gangster, Hanna Gorski is determined to find the killer who strangled her sister in upstate New York. She’ll bring him to justice any way she can.
