Book Description
Naive farm boy Henry Sweeney goes to Chicago to search for his cousin Lauryn, who disappeared after traveling there. When his money runs out, he is forced to take a job dealing Faro and poker in a place controlled by The Fox, Johnny Torrio. Determined to not completely lose his humanity, he saves Emma Gallagher, a stunning Irish immigrant, from a gang rape and life as a sexual slave, putting his own life in danger. Saving Emma from the Levee is the beginning of their life together. They face streets filled with chaos and a city under the control of clashing mob factions, which only worsens when Prohibition begins. Soon, Emma discovers she has diabetes, an always fatal disease at this time. Sweeney's only option is to do everything possible to prolong her life, even if it means sinking deeper into the shadowy world he has tried so desperately to escape.
