It wasn’t as if she needed to be on Broadway today. She just didn’t want to die before she had the chance.
Chicago, 1927. When Katie O’Sullivan moved to Chicago from Appleton, Ohio, she expected to work hard to achieve her dream of singing professionally. She took a job as a waitress in a speakeasy where the owner occasionally let her sing with the band. And everything was looking jake…until the kidnappings started. With the support of her friends, Katie steps into a dangerous game of deception, intrigue, and trickery.
