Victoria Christopher Murray visits HCLS to discuss her new novel, A Pair of Aces. --------------------------------------------------------------- REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK • A gripping novel about two trailblazing women on opposite sides of the law, a prosecutor and a madam, who team up to bring down notorious Mob boss Lucky Luciano in 1930s New York, from the New York Times bestselling authors of the million-copy bestseller The Personal Librarian. --------------------------------------------------------------- > “A monumental feat… a novel that does not shy away from both the trials and beauties of being a woman.”, The Post and Courier Eunice Carter, assistant district attorney for the City of New York and Manhattan’s first Black female prosecutor, has her sights set on the one and only Lucky Luciano, head of New York City’s five largest organized crime families. Other prosecutors have tried and failed. Polly Adler has worked long and hard to build up her high-class brothel business. Her client list is filled with well-known names, both the famous and the infamous, who all know her booze is top-notch, her music first-rate, her food exquisite, and her girls the best. But Lucky has gone too far. It is this very alliance, of two women from vastly different worlds, that launches the most sensational trial New York City has ever seen.
