Overview

Capone's North Road is a gritty historical noir along Lake Superior's cold spine. Joe Danner runs the northern mouth of a bootleg pipeline-Marquette's docks, Little Lake reeds, Portage, WI canal swaps, and rail spurs toward Cicero's Hawthorne smoke rooms. After the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, rival crews, agents, and rumor tighten the vise. Joe's jobs turn bloodier; the ice turns thinner; one betrayal could buy his family's future-or bury them beneath it. From daylight runs to Île Parisienne to smoky back rooms in Chicago, the novel tracks work, weather, and risk, where a whisper can knife a man. When the Outfit comes north to settle accounts, Joe must choose a road: keep the booze flowing and live with the bodies that follow, or break the chain, burn his bridges at Portage, WI, and gamble that the lake, the woods, and a few loyal neighbors can keep him breathing.
