Gathering storm

Decter, Sherilyn (author.).

Summary: Florida Coast, 1932. Edith Duffy might be grieving her gangster husband's death, but she's no damsel in distress. Leaving the sordid world of Philadelphia bootlegging, she settles in a small town outside Miami and buys a speakeasy. But when she launches a lucrative rum-running operation, indignant locals conspire to destroy her. Edith lands squarely back in gangland culture, with a Bible-thumping preacher campaigning to shut her down and smugglers resentful of her skill. And now she must forge alliances and make unlikely allies just to survive. Luckily, her mentor is none other than the wife of the notorious Al Capone... Will Edith's fondness for underworld profits lead her to a dead end?
