During the Great Depression, high-profile kidnappings became more and more commonplace. On December 17, 1931, self-made millionaire fashion designer Nell Donnelly becomes the next casualty.

Senator Reed, a family friend, steps in to lead the investigation. Impatient with ineffective police efforts, he is willing to go to extraordinary measures. How extraordinary? How about enlisting the help of two of Kansas City's most notorious crime bosses. This deal with two devils may very well be Reed's downfall. But more importantly, will the involvement of hardened gangsters lead to Nell Donnelly's freedom or her demise?
If you're looking for a page-turner with 1930s politicians, gangsters and a completely unexpected ending, scroll up now and BUY TODAY.

"I hope you don't have much planned for the next few days, because as soon as I promised I would stop reading and go to bed, I would end up grabbing my iPad for just one more chapter..."

"ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY FABULOUS. I have always been a big fan of true crime stories and this book was one of the very, very best. Once I started reading, I absolutely couldn't stop until it was over. Also, what an unexpected and completely mind-blowing conclusion. WOW. This is a definite must-read." -Goodreads Reviewer, chelepissbcglobal.net 
"This story is better than fiction! Pour yourself a drink, light up a coffin stick, and curl up with this twisted historical tale, be ready you won't be able to set it down!"DJ6UAL An Irish Girl's Blog
"Once you start, you won't be able to put it down. It's got everything: romance, memorable characters, political corruption, gun-toting gangsters and just enough humor :) Definitely recommend it!"Megan
"I was unsure of this e-book at first, but within a few pages, I was hooked. I HAD to know what would happen to Nelly, would she escape?"Nicole Kaukinen "MommaKauk"

About the author

Patrice Williams Marks penned her first book in third grade; The Day Snoopy Got Married. While it didn't make the New York Times Best Seller List, it was an instant classic with the Nunaka Valley Elementary School staff. From that moment forward, Patrice knew she was a writer. With a zest for travel and an insatiable appetite for all things vintage and period, Patrice uses her investigative journalism background to create authentic characters to occupy the pages of her books. Patrice has a talent for shining a light on riveting, obscure true stories from times past and generating page turners. Her upcoming book series, MONTGOMERY VALE, will follow this same successful formula.
