ISBN:  9781662500268 (hc.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  357 p. ; 23 cm. Summary:  "The Great Depression. High-level corruption. And a murder that's about to become Seattle's hottest mystery. It’s the kind of story that can make a reporter's 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 "Shoe" Shumacher gets a tip that could change his career. There's been a murder at a social club on Profanity Hill -- an 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 town's talking, and Shoe's first homicide is fast becoming the Trial of the Century. The more Shoe digs, the more he’s convinced nothing is as it seems. Not with a tangle of conflicting stories, an unlikely motive, and witnesses like Ray’s girlfriend, a glamour girl whose pretty lips are sealed. For now. In a city steeped in Old West debauchery, Shoe's following every lead to a very dangerous place -- one that could bring him glory and fame or end his life."--Publisher. Genre:  Suspense fiction.
