✦ Synopsis

A gripping historical crime novel and sequel to The Axeman's Jazz, the winner of the CWA John Creasey Dagger for Best First Novel

Chicago, 1928. Al Capone runs the city but cracks in his rule are starting to show ...

In the heavy summer heat, a series of shocking events takes place. A group poisoned in a swanky hotel. A rich white man found dead in a down-and-out neighbourhood he should never have been in. A socialite, known across the city, vanished without trace. Could these events be connected? Is someone trying to bring down Al Capone?

Ida and Michael at Pinkerton Detective Agency; Jacob, a police photographer with a personal vendetta; and Dante, working on behalf of Capone himself, are all trying to find answers in the city of jazz, dancing and corruption.
