Ariel receives the first endorsement for her novel. She doesn’t have words to express her thanks:
“A gangster’s showgirl, a wounded wife, a rich man’s maid, and the true-life, never-solved disappearance of a New York City judge, all come brilliantly to life amidst the Boardwalk Empire-like strut of Prohibition, in Lawhon’s sparklingly imagined novel. Vivid and unsettling, with a finale as startling as the pop of a gun.” - Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You and Is This Tomorrow
