Eye of the Storm

Prohibition is dying. Her enemy is not.

Coconut Grove, Florida. 1933.

Edith Duffy has won.

The saloon they burned is rebuilt and thriving. The boy they took is home. Her liquor comes off the black ships at Rum Row and moves up the coast in her own trucks to her own warehouses — and she has done the one thing nobody in this business manages. She has made allies of the only two women who could have been her rivals. Cleo, out of Nassau. Marie, out of Havana. Three women with a hand on every bottle that lands between Key Largo and Jacksonville.

Better still, the whole filthy trade is about to turn legal. In a matter of months the states will finish ratifying repeal, and Edith intends to be standing there with a license in her hand when they do.

Two men stand in the way.

Meyer Lansky has noticed her. He is courteous, patient, and entirely without sentiment, and he does not believe a woman should be building something this large without asking him first.

And in the church at Coconut Grove there is a preacher whose loathing of Edith Duffy has curdled into something with scripture wrapped around it. He has lost his territory, his authority and — though nobody has quite noticed yet — his mind. He has decided that God is owed a sacrifice.

He won't come for her saloon. He won't come for her money.

He knows precisely what she loves.

Edith has spent her whole life certain that enough nerve, enough money and enough power could keep the people she loves out of harm's way. She is about to discover the price of being wrong — and what a woman like her becomes when there is nothing left to buy, threaten, or rebuild.

Eye of the Storm is the thrilling conclusion to the Rum Runners' Chronicles, a historical women's fiction trilogy set in the last days of Prohibition. If you were hooked by Boardwalk Empire and Peaky Blinders, or you love the fierce, unconventional heroines of Beatriz Williams and Kate Quinn, Edith Duffy's final chapter will stay with you.
