The Fate of a Flapper, the second mystery in this captivating new series, takes readers into the dark, dangerous, and glittering underworld of a 1920's Chicago speakeasy.

A 2019 Agatha Award Nominee for Best Historical Mystery

After nine months as a cigarette girl at the Third Door, one of Chicago's premier moonshine parlors, Gina Ricci feels like she's finally getting into the swing of things. The year is 1929, the Chicago Cubs are almost in the World Series, neighborhood gangs are all-powerful, and though Prohibition is the law of the land, the Third Door can't serve the cocktails fast enough.

Two women in particular are throwing drinks back with abandon while chatting up a couple of bankers, and Gina can't help but notice the levels of inebriation and the tension at their table. When the group stumbles out in the early morning, she tries to put them out of her head. But once at home that night, Gina's sleep is interrupted when her cousin Nancy, a police officer, calls--she's found a body. Gina hurries over to photograph the crime scene, but stops short when she recognizes the body: it's one of the women from the night before.

Could the Third Door have served the woman bad liquor? Or, Gina wonders, could this be murder? As the gangs and bombings draw ever closer, all of Chicago starts to feel like a warzone, and Gina is determined to find out if this death was an unlucky accident, or a casualty of combat.

Wrinkle free? More like perma-wrinkle
I bought a similar shirt last year, and it was not as bad as this shirt, but the new one performs terrible. It feels like good quality and fits well. The problem is the stain free and the wrinkle free. The shirt stains, easily. However, due to whatever manufacturing process they use, traditional treatments do nothing. They just bead up and run off. My guess is whatever stained it in the first place is supposed to do this, but no. Worse is the wrinkle free. Just the opposite. I have followed the care instructions to the letter. But when the shirt comes out of the dryer it is no where ready to wear. So I iron it. I have no problem with this. After ironing I noticed that, while the shirt looks fine from a distance, up close you can see wrinkles all through the shirt. For instance, shirts wrinkle and crease on the sleeves when you roll up the cuffs (which I often do). Well, even after washing & ironing these wrinkles and creases are still there. Somewhat faintly, but they are there. So while the fabric appears ironed, you can see these wrinkles as if they are a pattern on the shirt. After several washings they are still there. Makes the shirt unwearable. Now I have to replace it.
