 nice Carter, assistant district attorney for the City of New York and Manh
 attan’s first Black female prosecutor, has her sights set on the one and
  only Lucky Luciano, head of New York City’s five largest organized crim
 e families. Other prosecutors have tried to bring down Lucky, but they’v
 e all focused on the crime syndicate’s traditional businesses—bootlegg
 ing, gambling, loan sharking, and drug dealing—or tax evasion. No one ha

 ce. But she can’t get Luciano alone.Polly Adler has worked long and hard
  to build up her high-class brothel business. Her client list is filled wi
 th well-known names, both the famous and the infamous, who all know her bo
 oze is top-notch, her music first-rate, her food exquisite, and her girls 
 the best. But Lucky has gone too far, putting her girls in danger, and Pol
 ly finally sees the chance to end his reign once and for all.Together, Eun
 ice and Polly fashion a case utilizing a network of women. Bridging the en
 ormous divide between them and risking their own lives, they assemble evid
 ence bit by bit, under the nose of the man they’re trying to convict. It
  is this very alliance—of two women from vastly different worlds—that 
 launches the most sensational trial New York City has ever seen.About the
