Murder at the Galliano Club Large Print Edition: A Prohibition historical fiction thriller (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798989140329)

LARGE PRINT EDITION

In 1926, thanks to Prohibition, it's hard to find a beer in Lido, New York. But trouble is always on tap at the Galliano Club.

Just ask the body behind the building.

Nestled along the Mohawk River in upstate New York, Lido is a blue-collar town where rival Italian, Polish, and Irish immigrants forge copper and brass into America's growing infrastructure. After long days in the mills, weary Italian men head to the Galliano Club for bootleg beer and Luca Lombardo's signature sandwiches.

The Galliano Club is both home and family for Luca, who lost everything when he immigrated to America. He'll do whatever it takes to keep the club afloat, including staying silent about a murder in the alley behind the club.

From her second-floor window, Ruth Cross witnessed the murder, but a scandalous past keeps her quiet. She'll do anything to keep the good citizens of Lido from learning about it.

Could hitman Benny Rotolo be involved in the murder? Run out of Chicago by Al Capone, he fled to Lido with a gun in his pocket and plans to establish his own bootlegging empire.

Buying off the police tops Benny's to-do list. Next is to turn the Galliano Club into his private speakeasy.

Too bad Luca is in the way . . .

Award-winning author Carmen Amato's thrilling Galliano Club historical thriller series is a heady brew of murder, secrets and lies bursting with sizzling relationships and authentic period details. Twists and turns in this page-turning saga will leave you breathless.

The author's grandfather was a deputy sheriff of Oneida County, New York, during Prohibition. His tales of immigrant rivalries, bootlegger ingenuity, and old scores being settled were the starting point for the Galliano Club series.

Layers of deception and drama come courtesy of Carmen's own 30-year career with the Central Intelligence Agency.
