Revenge is a dish best served cold, but the heat is on at the Galliano Club. Lido, New York. 1926.
Widow of a hitman who worked for Al Capone, Hanna Gorski leaves Chicago to hunt for her sister's killer. The trail leads to Lido and a letter written by Luca Lombardo, bartender at the Galliano Club. To Hanna's surprise, Luca is in jail on trumped up charges of attempted murder and kidnapping. His opponent has money, status, and connections. Everything that a poor immigrant like Luca doesn't. The secrets of his past could come out at the trial. Who else besides Luca will lose everything if those secrets are revealed? Meanwhile, bootlegger Benny Rotolo is still determined to seize the Galliano Club and turn the neighborhood hangout into a swank speakeasy that makes Capone green with envy. Benny will do whatever it takes to make sure Luca stays in jail and out of the way. But Benny didn't bargain on Hanna Gorski. Neither did anyone else.
