“It’s the Roaring Twenties: Jazz. Prohibition. Rumrunners. A boat is found adrift near the, its crew missing, its hold awash with blood. San Juan Islands Sheriff takes on a murder investigation with a list of suspects including rival rumrunners, temperance fanatics, anti-immigrant labor leaders, and the hatchet men of Seattle’s powerful underground crime syndicates. Fighting to protect his rural islands, and contending with a hidden array of informants and corrupt officials, the Sheriff races against a killer who continues to spill blood to cover his tracks.”
