Overview
In prohibition era West Virginia, a strait-laced young lawyer takes a late-night call to bail his uncle out of another ill-fated caper. Despite his best intentions, moonshine, the mob, lots of cash, and a beautiful woman ignite the dormant fire of his rebellious, Ulster-Scot blood.
Description
"Moonshine Mafia" is a rip-roaring story about bootlegging moonshine, the greatest heist in West Virginia history, two cat-house prostitutes dipping into a hidden stash of cash, a career criminal who come comes from a long line of "can't stay out of trouble and jail" kinfolk, a star football player-turned-lawyer who returns to his West Virginia home town to defend his family...and a dizzying array of other elements, too many to count, that make this story shine. It's laugh-out-loud, jaw-hit-the-floor, edge-of-your-seat, wonder-what's-next, fun. This is a work of fiction, although certain characters, incidents, and dialogue are based on real-life events from the author's rich array of Scots-Irish, West Virginia family. Having been given such a grand gift of characters to live with and write about, their stories gave wings to the author's imagination and flights of fancy.
