King City Gangsters - The Snowdon Massacre, Volume 1
Description
A novel set in the somewhat historical setting of the Roaring Twenties, the era of Prohibition.
Our hero, Detective Danny O’Shea, spends his time navigating organized crime elements, city corruption, and bent coppers while trying to maintain his reputation as ‘the only honest copper in King City.
Complicating Danny’s life was his unwanted relationship with the Carvonshire crime boss, Max Snowdon. Max put the organized in Organized Crime.
Despite the difficulties, including the unfortunate enactment of Prohibition, Danny was holding his own, pursuing those hoodlums who crossed the line.
Things were running real smooth until they weren’t.
The recent killing of Max Snowdon created a vacuum that the worst hoodlums were rushing to fill. King City was descending into chaos. All hell was breaking loose.
And then, the appearance of newbie crime reporter, Jane Dickerson (a real doll), added even more complications to Danny’s life.
Content
What you can expect:
Our detective, Danny O’Shea, navigates a world of corruption, graft, and bribery.
Danny is no Sherlock Holmes, no forensic expert, no master of police work, but he gets the job done. He’s got connections, relationships.
Detective O’Shea sees prohibition and bootlegging as a major inconvenience that doesn’t warrant his attention. But when the thugs cross the line (do harm to the citizens of King City), that’s another matter. Detective Danny O’Shea will make them regret it.
King City is a city populated with speakeasies, clip joints, creep joints, and gambling dens, but also the Secret Underground (abandoned coal mines used by the criminal element for their nefarious activities) and the Roofs (the upper levels and penthouses of the city buildings where gangsters roam free, off limits to law enforcement).
