A gripping novel about two trailblazing wo men on opposite sides of the law&mdash\;a prosecutor and a madam&mdash\;wh o team up to bring down notorious Mob boss Lucky Luciano in 1930s New York  \;
 \;
Eunice Carter\, assistant district attorney for the City of New York and Manhattan&rsquo\;s first Black female prosecutor\ , has her sights set on the one and only Lucky Luciano\, head of New York City&rsquo\;s five largest organized crime families. Other prosecutors hav e tried to bring down Lucky\, but they&rsquo\;ve all focused on the crime syndicate&rsquo\;s traditional businesses&mdash\;bootlegging\, gambling\, loan sharking\, and drug dealing&mdash\;or tax evasion. No one has thought to approach the Mob through its role in prostitution. Until Eunice. But s he can&rsquo\;t get Luciano alone. \;
 \;
Polly Adler ha s worked long and hard to build up her high-class brothel business. Her cl ient list is filled with well-known names\, both the famous and the infamo us\, who all know her booze is top-notch\, her music first-rate\, her food exquisite\, and her girls the best. But Lucky has gone too far\, putting her girls in danger\, and Polly finally sees the chance to end his reign o nce and for all. \;
 \;
Together\, Eunice and Polly fash ion a case utilizing a network of women. Bridging the enormous divide betw een them and risking their own lives\, they assemble evidence bit by bit\, under the nose of the man they&rsquo\;re trying to convict. It is this ve ry alliance&mdash\;of two women from vastly different worlds&mdash\;that l aunches the most sensational trial New York City has ever seen. \;
