In this gripping novel, two groundbreaking women in 1930s New York—a pioneering Black prosecutor named Eunice Carter and a savvy madam named Polly Adler—join forces to take down the infamous Mob boss, Lucky Luciano. While other prosecutors have failed to dismantle his empire by targeting traditional crimes, Eunice approaches the mob through its links to prostitution. As they navigate their vastly different worlds and gather evidence against Luciano, their unlikely alliance sets the stage for one of the most sensational trials in the city’s history.
