The Wicked City
by Beatriz Williams
When she discovers her husband cheating, Ella Hawthorne moves out of their loft and into an apartment in an old Greenwich Village building.

Back in the Roaring Twenties, the place hid a speakeasy. In 1924, Geneva 'Gin' Kelly, a smart-mouthed flapper, is a regular at this hideaway. As Ella discovers more about the basement speakeasy, she becomes inspired by the spirit of her exuberant predecessor, and decides to live with abandon in the city too.
