Harlem Rhapsody: A Crime Thriller (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781676954545)

In the days of prohibition and the Harlem Renaissance, Owney Madden, gangster and Cotton Club owner, has a plan to defeat the tyranny of Tammany Hall. He'll whack mob kingpin Arnold Rothstein. At 75,000 words, Harlem Rhapsody follows this turbulent era (1927-1937), from Duke Ellington's debut at the Cotton Club, to the unsolved murder of Rothstein, and the machinations of a secret organization, the Volunteers. Based on true events and real people (The Belle of Broadway; Titanic Thompson; Lucky Luciano) Harlem Rhapsody is the second book in the Volunteer series about Teddy Roosevelt's band of men, with financial assistance from J.P. Morgan and John Rockefeller, who fight to take down corruption and Tammany Hall. Harlem Rhapsody features a WWI hero and Harlem Hellfighter recruited to support the mission. His Volunteer boss is based on my grandfather, a former Irish freedom fighter revered in Ireland for his hunger strike aboard the prison ship Argenta.
