The Roaring 20's are alive and well!As a fan of American History, I was eager to read a book focused on the 1920's.  Prohibition, gangsters, bootleggers- it's all here, along with Hollywood and movies!This book delivers exactly what it promises!  Matt Hudson (Hud) is a bootlegger looking toward the future.  His personal fascination is talking movies!  This book goes into detail about the history of early filmmaking.  This was all new to me- I love learning new things when I read a book!This gave the book a more creative feel.  It wasn't just about the bootlegging gangster, shoot 'em up time in history- although that is a strong presence in the storyline.Hud is a not so innocent character.  He is a wonderful creation.  He skirts on the edge of the law and lives by his own code of ethics.  He is willing to cross the line when he feels it necessary.  In this book he is trying to solve the murder of his friend.This book is a gem.  If you enjoy the 1920's or American History, you will enjoy the world created by Jeffrey Stone.
