Book Description

The Roaring Twenties. A decade freed from the horrors of the Great War. A time of economic prosperity, technological advances, jazz music, wild youth, and Prohibition. A time where vast fortunes were made and a new sense of entitlement arose among the elite of society. And with that entitlement, a thirst for more power. A federal agent working for an agency tasked with investigating financial crimes has been found brutally murdered in a Washington. D.C. hotel. His mistake? Investigating the shady dealings of one of the most powerful men on Wall St. Alone. Fellow agents Charlie Postlethwaite and Gretchen Retrum have now been thrown headlong into an investigation they are ill-prepared for. Far from the world of bank ledgers and files, they’re now forced to get to the bottom of the mystery while avoiding the discovery of their secret agency and the associated problems of juggling their relationship. From the city streets of Washington D.C. and New York City, to the countrysides of upstate New York, and to a small town in Wisconsin, Charlie and Gretchen are in a desperate race to bring those responsible to justice before they become the next on the list to die.
