Here's what folks are saying about the Galliano Club:

"When Carmen Amato took a break from her Detective Emilia Cruz series to venture into historical fiction, I wondered if it was going to be as good. It isn’t as good—it’s better." - David Bruns, co-author of Command and Control

"The Galliano Club series promises to be as riveting as Amato's previous novels set in Mexico. The Roaring Twenties in their uninhibited violence and excitement come alive . . . A sure hit with loyal fans and new readers alike." - Michael Hogan, author of Women of the Irish Rising

"A gripping thriller series that will immerse you in the gritty, violent world of America in the 1920s. Clawing their way through the tale are a host of desperate characters that will shock and amaze you, never allowing you to catch your breath until the jaw-dropping conclusion." Amanda Hughes, author of The Looking Glass Goddess and The Image Seeker

About MURDER AT THE GALLIANO CLUB

Social hub for the Italian immigrant community, the Galliano Club serves bootleg beer and Luca Lombardo’s signature sandwiches to workers from the city’s copper mills. The club means everything to Luca, who arrived in Lido with nothing left to lose.

He’ll do whatever it takes to keep the club afloat, even staying silent about a murder in the alley behind the building.

From her second-floor window, Ruth Cross witnessed the murder, but a scandalous past keeps her quiet.

Could gangster Benny Rotolo be involved? Run out of Chicago by Al Capone, he fled to Lido with a gun in his pocket and plans to establish his own bootlegging empire. He wants to turn the Galliano Club into his private speakeasy.

A collision between Luca and Benny is coming . . . Unless the killer gets there first.
