China Blues

The Roaring Twenties, Chinatown, San Francisco: back-street blues and bathtub gin? hardball mobsters and hardheaded cops? seductive speakeasies and sizzling scandals. As the young Louis Armstrong blows his horn in the infamous Blue Canary, impetuous Nob Hill Socialite Elizabeth Stafford Hamilton plunges into a reckless affair with mysterious Li Kwan Won. Unknown to Lizzie, Li is the overlord of the city?s vast bootlegging empire?and archenemy of her powerful husband, the San Francisco district attorney. Suddenly Lizzie?s privileged, upper-crust life is shadowed by danger and intrigue?as she?s trapped between her lover and her husband while they battle for control of the city.

"Offbeat, unruly characters and vibrant atmosphere spill over the pages of this promising first novel set in San Francisco during Prohibition? Bootlegging, the Tong Wars, smoky speakeasies, inept mobsters, and the Teapot Dome scandal zigzag through these pages like streaks of lightning. The Jazz Era leaps to life.? ?Publishers Weekly
