* Duration: 09:14:29 * In this enthralling Jazz Age mystery, listeners are drawn into a glamorous speakeasy where music, liquor, and secrets abound. Set in New York, 1924, Vivian Kelly endures a monotonous life, sharing a tenement with her sister and working long hours at a dress shop. By night, she revels in the vibrant atmosphere of The Nightingale, an underground dance hall filled with illegal liquor and lively Charleston music. Here, she enjoys free champagne from a friendly bartender and the company of those who know the owner, allowing her to escape her troubles. At The Nightingale, her past and financial struggles fade away, and she can flirt freely on the dance floor. However, her newfound sanctuary is shattered when a body is discovered behind the club, thrusting her into a dangerous situation. During a police raid, Vivian learns that the deceased is not the anonymous bootlegger he seemed. With many believing she holds vital information about the crime, Vivian finds herself entangled in the perilous world of New York's underground, where the wealthy's sins are concealed, and the lives of the poor, including her own, are deemed expendable. ©2022 Katharine Schellman (P)2022 Dreamscape Media, LLC
