Rum Runner Prohibition

Rum Runner Prohibition

Jack Lyons, a mid-western nobody from nowhere, had become somebody from somewhere. The treacherous skies over France changed him. Projecting a cavalier swagger, yet driven by guilt, the Ace Aviator engaged in perilous nocturnal speedboat rum running and meaningless flapper relationships while he harbored a humiliating secret. Jack's track shifted when he collided with Ava at a Roaring Twenties Detroit gala. An astute, tenacious lady lawyer, they both challenged yet complimented the other. Their journey had just begun. (Please see our READING SAMPLE under Kindle eBook) Rum Runner —Prohibition dives deep into 1920s Detroit’s world of elegant speakeasies and raucous jazz clubs, cast against the backdrop of mogul-creating industries. Rampant rum running turned Detroit into one of its day's most exciting, quirky, and frenetic cities. For those who love historical adventurous epics like The Great Gatsby or the action chronicles of Indiana Jones, Rum Runner will be a thrilling discovery. Jack Lyons returns from the Great War as a scarred combat aviator. By day, he leads his growing aviation company, but by night, he directs his multi-ethnic band of brothers smuggling liquor across the Canadian border. Using his speed boat, Francine, they evade all threats while leveraging their profits to help less fortunate veterans. Jack’s greatest threat, other than himself, is the notorious Jewish Purple Gang and their relentless OCD lieutenant, Ira Cohen. They run Detroit’s illegal vices, exterminating anyone who crosses them. As Jack battles the Purples, our emotionally impaired aviator’s world is turned upside down when his path crosses Ava Murphy, an orphaned Latina-Irish customs attorney. They begin a slow burn, bumpy romance, and neither is sure about the other. As Jack confronts his past demons, will Ava become his nemesis or the love of his life?
