Set during Prohibition in 1920s Galveston, FLAPPERS features Jasmine Cross, an ambitious young society reporter, who feels caught between two clashing cultures: the seedy speakeasy underworld and the snooty social circles she covers in the Galveston Gazette. After a big-shot banker with a hidden past collapses at the Oasis—a speakeasy secretly owned by her black-sheep half-brother, Sammy Cook—Jazz wonders: Was it an accident or foul play?
Soon handsome young Prohibition Agent James Burton raids the Oasis, threatening to shut it down if Sammy doesn't cooperate. Suspicious, he pursues Jazz, hoping for information (and some romance), but she refuses to rat on Sammy.
As turf wars escalate between the Downtown and Beach gangs, Sammy is accused of murder. To find the killer, Jazz must risk her life and career, exposing the dark side of Galveston’s glittering society.
Now available in a revised trade paperback version with a glossary of 1920s slang. See the sequel: "Bathing Beauties, Booze and Bullets," published in May, 2014.)
