Production by: Thomas E. Hall

Brings the 1920s to Vividly to Life!

Joe Wilson relocates to Detroit, Michigan, seeking refuge from trouble in Ohio. He starts a new life as an auto worker, gardener, husband, and soon-to-be-father. However, his luck takes a turn for the worse when he unexpectedly becomes the owner of 100 cases of illegal alcohol. Relentless crooked cops, bankers, and thugs are on the hunt for it during the prohibition era, and Joe's problems continue to escalate.

Thomas E. Hall, the author skillfully presents a historically accurate portrayal of life in 1920s Detroit, Michigan, reflecting both the time period's attitudes and their enduring relevance today. The narrative flows smoothly, and the characters are well-developed. His plot twists are unexpected and engage the listener with the characters. I found myself holding my breath each time Joe and his friend encountered R & S (deadly, murderous thugs) as well as Landers and Horn.

The narrator, Ed Romano, was perfect for this audiobook. His seamless transitions between accents and his delivery, mirroring the characters' actions and situations, were flawless. I found his voice to be easy to hear and enjoy.

Hall's ability to engage the listener becomes evident as soon as you start this magnificent and captivating story, enhanced by Romano's performance. It's a truly enjoyable experience!
