In the midst of the 1920's, well-known businessman Benjamin Trodden finds himself in a predicament.
His business partner is dying, his brother is chasing a married woman, and a new cop in town is hot on the trail of his more... illegal business investments.
With a business to save and a reputation at stake, Ben has to do the impossible and create a cover story so air tight, even the brightest officers couldn't see through it. He can't do it alone, but, with a little help from a sharp-tongued flapper, a dying ballet dancer, and an indecisive boxer, he has the chance to not only save his own skin...but everyone else's too.

Like in the deck of cards, the Ace outranks the King-and so does Ace Salvatore. A Greek-Italian mafia leader feared by all, Ace is a man of unspeakable cruelty, a calculated mind ruling an empire built on blood and terror. His face is a mystery- those who've seen it are long gone, silenced by his wrath. Manipulative, controlling, psychotic, and untouchable, he rules his empire with an iron fist, his past buried beneath layers of bloodshed and regret. His obsession with power and control leaves no room for weakness-not in himself, not in his enemies, and certainly not in others. When a desperate debtor can't repay what's owed, he offers something unexpected to settle the score: a little girl. Ace accepts the deal, not out of need, but because curiosity flickers in his mind- a curiosity he loathes. Yet the little girl is more than just an innocent.

The darkness that shaped him, the wounds he carries, and the revenge that fuels his every decision begin to resurface. The past never truly stays buried. As their worlds collide, her presence becomes both his salvation and his torment.
