Blackmail at the Galliano Club

Lido, New York. 1926.

Blackmail is an easy game when everyone at the Galliano Club has something to hide.

In this highly anticipated second installment of the Galliano Club trilogy, secrets threaten to tear apart the very foundation of the club when bootlegger Benny Rotolo comes up with a new scheme to seize the Galliano Club and turn the humble neighborhood club into the finest speakeasy north of Manhattan.

Blackmail.

With sinister help, Benny use the same tactics as the infamous La Mano Nera terror group that preys on successful Italian immigrants. He unleashes a wave of anonymous letters that offer only two choices to the recipients. Pay or die.

At the same time, Galliano Club bartender Luca Lombardo is in the spotlight after surviving an attempted murder. Will the attention help or hurt his chances with society girl Tess Kennedy who faces the prospect of an arranged marriage to a wealthy banker?

Dancer Ruth Cross, who resides above the Galliano Club, finds herself the victim of a different flavor of blackmail. She's at the mercy of a corrupt police officer who holds her scandalous past hostage, demanding a steep price for silence. But someone else knows Ruth's secret, too.

With so much blackmail at stake, can murder be far behind?
