Prospect Avenue

West meets East as bootleggers and cops tangle with opium smugglers and corrupt officials in a new kind of gang warfare. Prospect Avenue is nothing more than a dirt road ending in bulrushes behind a roadhouse. Its a popular rendezvous point along the Detroit River for bootleggers like Jack McCloskey. But theres more than just rum-running going on these days; theres a growing trade in opium and people, as McCloskey finds out when he rescues the survivor of a bad smuggling deal. As if this wasnt enough, McCloskey is also trying to get his dinner club back on its feet, while his girlfriend, the indomitable Vera Maude, has a wedding to plan and its not her own. Hes trying to hold things together while police corruption and domestic strife threaten to pull it all apart. Then, a series of murders brings powerful groups into conflict and may drag McCloskey into the fray.
