On a cold December night in 1920s Atlanta, a drunken white cop
shoots a black gambler in one of the worst parts of town, and a
cache of jewels goes missing from a mansion in one of the best. Joe
Rose--rambler, gambler, and professional thief--has just hit the
city. He soon finds himself caught in a three-sided puzzle that
involves a black-hearted police officer called "the Captain," the
pimp and crapshooter Little Jesse Williams, and a wicked beauty
named Pearl Spencer. Behind it all is Atlanta, the city once
nothing but dust and ashes, now the richest, busiest metropolis in
the South, mixing sin with success and vibrating with mayhem and
music. In his acclaimed Storyville series, David Fulmer brought the
jazz-soaked streets of New Orleans to life. Now he brings us
another absorbing mystery in a new setting raucous with music and
rich with history.
