An ambitious, rookie reporter in Depression-era Seattle stumbles upon the suspicious death of a fallen prizefighter on Profanity Hill and his investigation leads him into the cityâs underbelly where he attracts the attention of the mobster club owner. - Brilliance Audio
A gripping new thriller from New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni.
The Great Depression. High-level corruption. And a murder thatâs about to become Seattleâs hottest mystery. Itâs the kind of story that can make a reporterâs career. If he lives to write about it.
Seattle, 1933. The city is in the grips of the Great Depression, Prohibition, and vice. Cutting his teeth on a small-time beat, hungry and ambitious young reporter William âShoeâ Shumacher gets a tip that could change his career. Thereâs been a murder at a social club on Profanity Hillâan underworld magnet for vice crimes only a privileged few can afford. The story is going to be front-page news, and Shoe is the first reporter on the scene.
The victim, Frankie Ray, is a former prizefighter. His accused killer? Club owner and mobster George Miller, who claims he pulled the trigger in self-defense. Soon the whole townâs talking, and Shoeâs first homicide is fast becoming the Trial of the Century. The more Shoe digs, the more heâs convinced nothing is as it seems. Not with a tangle of conflicting stories, an unlikely motive, and witnesses like Rayâs girlfriend, a glamour girl whose pretty lips are sealed. For now.
In a city steeped in Old West debauchery, Shoeâs following every lead to a very dangerous placeâone that could bring him glory and fame or end his life.
