Synopsis
The novella is centered on Eddie Durante, owner of a speakeasy that’s supported by Eddie’s mobster uncle, the boss of the Durante family. The back story is that Eddie is a young widower after his family’s rival, the Caprice family, murdered his wife over a territory dispute. After devising a plan that retaliated against four of the rivaling capos, Eddie is left with the daunting task to try and move on, until a family member notifies him that the Caprices have put a hit man in the speakeasy – and Eddie’s name is on the list. But things take an unexpected turn when Eddie and his close friends start to find the dead bodies of Eddie’s relatives, the ones who had helped in the retaliation.
Behind the backdrop of the jazz music and glistening flappers, murder after murder begins to unravel as revenge takes center stage, and Eddie soon learns that some secrets can’t be taken to the grave.

Review
Speakeasy is full of suspense, murder, and mystery. Eddie has a hit on him and his family members are ended up dead. He must race against time to save those closest to him. Eddie knows that secrets that he thought were buried have surfaced and revenge is the name of this game.
This story will keep you on the edge of your seat, biting your nails, and wondering where the killer will strike next. In a story were there are no real good guys, and innocent people are cannon fodder for vengeance, a line will be drawn. Eddie is a a guy that operates in shades of grey. When events start to unravel all he has worked for he must decide what the right thing to do is and how to save those he loves.
Thrilling, suspenseful, and captivating this story will transport you back to a time when booze flowed freely, women were daring, men where dashing, music was essentially, and where the mob ruled the night.
