By Carmen Amato

Three outcasts try to outrun the past, only to end up at the Galliano Club, where trouble is always on tap.

 

This trio of short stories forms the prequel to the exciting Prohibition-era Galliano Club historical thriller series. Go on the road with three unforgettable characters and experience their timeless tales of risk, determination, and danger during the Roaring Twenties: 

 

Ruth Cross escapes a dead-end life in a Pennsylvania coal mining town, but scandal will chase her all the way to the tiny apartment over the Galliano Club.

Luca Lombardo emigrates to America but it costs him everything. By the time he goes to work as the barman at the Galliano Club, he has nothing left to lose.

Benny Rotolo rises from street thug to trusted bodyguard for Chicago's North Side Gang but when Al Capone puts a price on his head, the Galliano Club could be his chance to get even.

If you love historical fiction featuring the Roaring Twenties, Prohibition-era stories of Chicago gangsters, Italian mobsters, and bold bootleggers, you'll love this introduction to the Galliano Club series.

 

Bursting with authentic details of America during the 1920s, the Galliano Club series was inspired by award-winning author Carmen Amato's grandfather who was a deputy sheriff in upstate New York during Prohibition.
