Publisher's Synopsis
In the smoky haze of 1923, Alex Moretti has just realized his dream: opening a discreet speakeasy hidden from the watchful eyes of Prohibition enforcers. Carefully curating its guest list to trusted members of his tight-knit community, Alex believes he's built something special; a sanctuary for music, laughter, and rebellion.
But the whispers of betrayal grow louder when he discovers that one of his patrons is a mole. When the traitor is found dead within the speakeasy's walls, Alex is thrust into a deadly web of secrets and lies. With the authorities circling and tensions simmering, Alex must unravel the truth behind the murder before it's too late. As the clock ticks, he faces a high-stakes gamble: protect his business and his reputation, or risk everything; even his own life; to uncover a killer among friends. Shadowed by jazz melodies and danger, Alex navigates the underworld of New Orleans where loyalty is fleeting and survival means playing by your own rules.
