Praise for the Book
“History meets mystery meets feminist fiction in The Bootlegger’s Daughter. Utterly enthralling from the gripping first line to the wonderfully provocative last, Nadine Nettmann’s Prohibition-era page-turner features an ingenious premise and formidable cast of characters—especially the women, who are deftly portrayed with period accuracy and trailblazing fortitude, as much a product of their time as they are ahead of it.” —Wendy Corsi Staub, New York Times bestselling author
“With a pitch-perfect ear for time and place, Nadine Nettmann takes the reader on an unforgettable journey through Prohibition-era Los Angeles into a world full of danger and intrigue. Letty and Annabel are both strong characters and show what women were capable of during an era when so little was expected of them. I highly recommend The Bootlegger’s Daughter for book clubs and anyone who savors great writing and a window into history at the same time.” —Anita Abriel, internationally bestselling author of The Light After the War and The Life She Wanted
“The Bootlegger’s Daughter is a tremendously entertaining journey back to Prohibition-era Los Angeles. The two main characters, Letty and Forman, are strikingly fresh and appealing, and they drive a story that never fails to surprise and satisfy. Highly recommended.” —Lou Berney, Edgar Award–winning author of Dark Ride
About the Book
In Prohibition-era Los Angeles, there’s an unquenchable thrist for money and power.
It’s 1927. Letty Hart’s father is long gone, but his old winery provides a meager wage and a legal livelihood for selling sacramental wine. But when that contract goes bust, Letty stumbles upon a desperate option: her father’s hidden cellar—and enough liquor to tempt Letty to bootleg the secret stash. In an underworld dominated by merciless men, Letty is building an empire.
Officer Annabel Forman deserves to be the first female detective in the LAPD. But after two years on the force, she’s still consigned to clerical work and policing dance halls. When Annabel connects a series of unsolved murders to bootlegging, it’s a chance at a real investigation. Under the thumb of dismissive male superiors, Annabel is building her case.
As their formerly uncompromised morals erode, Letty and Annabel are on a collision course—and determined to prove they’re every bit as ruthless and strong-willed as the powers that be who want to take them down.
