The first mystery in Susanna Calkins’ captivating new
series takes readers into the dark, dangerous, and
glittering underworld of a 1920s Chicago speakeasy.
Gina Ricci takes on a job as a cigarette girl to earn money
for her ailing father—and to prove to herself that she can
hold her own at Chicago’s most notorious speakeasy, the
Third Door. She’s enchanted by the harsh, glamorous world
she discovers: the sleek socialites sipping bootlegged
cocktails, the rowdy ex-servicemen playing poker in a
curtained back room, the flirtatious jazz pianist and the
brooding photographer—all overseen by the club’s imposing
owner, Signora Castallazzo. But the staff buzzes with
whispers about Gina’s predecessor, who died under mysterious
circumstances, and the photographer, Marty, warns her to be
careful.
When Marty is brutally murdered, with Gina as the only
witness, she’s determined to track down his killer. What
secrets did Marty capture on his camera—and who would do
anything to destroy it? As Gina searches for answers, she’s
pulled deeper into the shadowy truths hiding behind the
Third Door.
