Detective Derek Adler made a name for himself in New York City after dismantling the case of the Velvet Mist. He spent the Jazz Age dancing and making one-night connections, allowing whispers to follow him during Prohibition as he ended his nights stumbling loosely back home, making a fool of himself with no repercussions. Born with a chip on his shoulder, he could do no wrong, and well into the Great Depression, he remained beloved.
Beloved by all, that is, except for James Anderson, who vowed many years ago to expose the detective for who he truly was: a liar and a coward. 
It isn't until 1936 that the men's paths permanently intertwine, stringing together the horrid truths of the details of the Velvet Mist case.All Rights Reserved

Dark Secrets by WhisperingFingertips

I should not have survived. I escaped the monster who had taken my best friend's life, and yet, here I was, still trapped by the lingering nightmare, even after eight years. His image and memory haunt me, and I can't shake the feeling that he's still lurking out there, somewhere, biding his time. As fate wasn't done with me yet, when my co-worker disappeared and then found - mirrored the same way as my best friend was murdered all those years ago, I suddenly became a key figure in yet another murder investigation. As if my life weren't complicated enough, I found myself inexplicably drawn to the detective assigned to the case, as does he, and now we are racing against the clock to find the murderer before he finds me. We all have secrets; some are just darker than others.

Chicago Typewriter by guywortheyauthor

As Detective Drew Lucy typed up the report on the Waterton case the pretty ankle slipped into his line of sight. It was shaped like trouble. The chief's sixteen-year-old daughter Millie was worried about her brother, Ike, who had started to disappear some nights. The chief could fire Drew for messing with family business, but Drew reluctantly agrees to tail Ike. The trail leads to a speakeasy and the mushrooming business of organized crime during Prohibition in Chicago. Clues from the Ebony Gardens murder point to the same gang, but the gangsters can smell Drew coming, and bullets are cheap. By the time Drew enters the seductive orbit of a mink-eyed vixen addicted to risk, he's in over his head. If he isn't shot full of daylight by gangster tommy guns, he'll drown in Bianca's perfumed embrace. It's enough to make a gumshoe readjust his fedora. ----- This noir flavored detective yarn is set 100 years back in time. It's a bit grittier than my usual breezy output. This story is basically clean and I did not flag it as mature. However, darker human failings (alcohol use, sexual desire, and violence) drive the plot. I don't dwell on those aspects, but it's definitely a story for grownups. The intended audience is new adult or adult. Winner! 2022 Amby Awards, Mystery and Thriller category. Winner! 3rd place in the Ballsy Tea Awards 2022, Action and Adventure category.
