The ABNA contest is operated on Amazondotcom only.For a 17-year-old senior from Sioux City, Iowa, her precarious morning begins when a handsome detective in a fedora shows up at her doorstep. He informs her family that her father has been found dead of questionable circumstances. Maxie learns that her father was bootlegging whiskey across the Iowa border into Illinois, regardless of Prohibition, and that he had mob connections. After her uncle is called to the house, she follows him to City Hall, where she sees him bribe the detective. In search of consolation, Maxie goes to her aunt’s hotel, the Arcade. Auntie Rose, unlike Maxie’s mother, is concerned and reassuring, yet illusive. Later that evening, Maxie and her best friend, Becky, witness a murder at the hotel. Maxie thinks the victim is familiar, but she can’t be sure. Auntie Rose notices the detective, who keeps snooping around the hotel. Could he suspect her of running a speakeasy? Or maybe it’s because her husband, Sam, has mafia connections as well. Only yesterday, Maxie’s world was normal, but now, so many unanswered questions have presented themselves. What family secret is Auntie Rose hiding? Why is her mother indifferent to her father’s death? Why did her uncle bribe the detective? And who is the murdered mystery woman? Maxie feels compelled to uncover the answers in order to satisfy her own curiosity, and protect her best friend in the process. When things can’t get any worse, Maxie’s mother marries a mobster from Chicago, and gets arrested as an accomplice to murder. After escaping from prison, her mother goes on the lam. Maxie is faced with difficult decisions. Should she keep her silence and protect her family? Or should she answer to her moral conscience, confront them all, and rat on them to the detective?We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
