Mystery Historical
It's Prohibition. It's Philadelphia. And Jersey Leo doesn't
fit in. Jersey is an albino of mixed race. Known as "Snowball" on
the street, he tends bar at a speakeasy the locals call the
Ink Well. There, he's considered a hero for having saved the
life of a young boy. But when his old grade school buddy,
Aaron Garvey, calls from death row and asks for one last
favor, all hell breaks loose. Jersey finds himself running from a band of crooked cops,
hiding an escaped convict in the Ink Well, and reuniting
with his grammar school crush--the now sultry Myra Banks,
who has shed a club foot and become a speakeasy siren.
Through it all, Jersey tries to safeguard the Ink Well with
no help other than his ragtag group of friends: his
ex-boxing-champion father, Ernie Leo; the street-savvy
Johalis; a dim-witted dockworker named Homer; and the
dubious palm reader Madame Curio. With them, Jersey digs for
the truth about his friend Aaron Garvey--and winds up
discovering a few things about himself.
