Description:Chicago 1934 and it is the end of prohibition and the era of the Public Enemy.Ross Duncan is a laconic, world weary bank robber, haunted by his conscience and the recent death of his partner during a bank robbery.After the murder of an aging mafia enforcer, Duncan is ‘hot property’ and receives job offers from the competing Irish and Italian mobsters, both hoping to secure his services before the other does. The Irishman and the Italians unwittingly hire him for the same job – the assassination of the Federal Prosecutor.But he is betrayed by his greedy accomplices on another job. No longer sure who he can trust, he maneuvers his way between the two gangs, especially round the scheming and dangerous Irishman. Duncan is also on the run from J. Edgar Hoover’s fledgling FBI. He falls in love with his dead partner’s beautiful younger sister, Elinore, who has a laudanum addiction and is in the clutches of The Irishman as his underworld moll.Duncan is caught right in the middle of it all and in grasping for a chance of moral redemption from his life of crime, he finds his decisions and actions have been made at an unbearable cost.At the end, we find Duncan catching a late night train out of Chicago, lost, a failure, overcome with grief and exhaustion, and waiting for the soft, cool respite of dawn. This is a cool yet fast-paced and violent story of Tommy guns, cold gin martinis, sharp repartee, piles of cash, and deadly betrayals.‘… a stiff noir cocktail: sharp dialogue, shadowy settings, and severe, coldblooded violence’ - Kirkus ReviewsWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
