Prospect Avenue : Border City Blues, Paperback / softback Book

Prospect Avenue : Border City Blues Paperback / softback

Part of the Border City Blues series

Paperback / softback

Description

West meets East as bootleggers and cops tangle with opium smugglers and corrupt officials in a new kind of gang warfare. Prospect Avenue is nothing more than a dirt road ending in bulrushes behind a roadhouse.

It's a popular rendezvous point along the Detroit River for bootleggers like Jack McCloskey.

But there's more than just rum-running going on these days; there's a growing trade in opium and people, as McCloskey finds out when he rescues the survivor of a bad smuggling deal. As if this wasn't enough, McCloskey is also trying to get his dinner club back on its feet, while his girlfriend, the indomitable Vera Maude, has a wedding to plan ... and it's not her own. He's trying to hold things together while police corruption and domestic strife threaten to pull it all apart.

Then, a series of murders brings powerful groups into conflict and may drag McCloskey into the fray.
