It was like a dream becoming real out of the mist, I thought.  But yet, I couldn’t help thinking, here we were, entering Chicago the dangerous way,  the stealthy way—as fugitives, not holiday-makers as I’d always hoped. 

 

The Year is 1933:

… and a headstrong teen is on the verge of uncovering the biggest secret of her family’s past — what happened to a rumored inheritance worth a fortune.  But now, the pressure is on — for the most notorious crime syndicate in Chicago is onto it too — and her family is in their sights.  To unravel the mystery, it will take the help of a love-struck Texan transplant, a mysterious guardian by the name of the Phantom, and an unlikely friendship with a Hyde Park lawyer who is none other than the nephew of her nemesis himself.

About

I was pretty unsuspecting.

“Come on — there’s a documentary playing that you might like,” my Mum called across the house. At least, that’s probably what she said — it’s hard to remember, that was all the way back in 2010/11. I had no idea that sitting down to that PBS documentary on Chicago’s fascinating history would spur a multi-decade labor of love: a Jazz-Era suspense duology.  I hope it opens up a whole new world for you, as it did me.

Which turned out to be a good thing, because, when trouble started around here, it didn’t stop for wishing. …”
