    About this ebook

    In 1928 during the Prohibition years, when the Italian mob is thriving and corruption casts its dark shadow over justice, there is still a young man silly enough to think a murderer should stay in jail. Meet rookie Detective Ed Valenti and his mentor, Senior Detective Landau. A woman has been beaten to death in her apartment and Valenti is determined to solve this crime - after all, it's his first murder case and this is Ed's chance to prove himself.

    Julia Proud

    Julia Proud has always been fascinated by stories and spent countless hours scribbling something or other. But she also had a love for exact science and Mathematics. After a few years spent studying Cybernetics and Statistics, she decided to try her hand at Film School, because, erm... why not?She has always loved the movies and writing scripts turned out to be fitting. But again she couldn’t be still and somehow ended up working as an Animation Artist for various Television Series and even in the Flash Games Industry.She is currently working as a freelancer, and ardently struggling to figure out this new thing she’s bumped into: motherhood. But despite her winding journey, Julia Proud has never let go of her love for writing and storytelling. As long as she manages to touch another’s soul with her stories she will be proud – bad pun intended.
