Featured Fiction
Last Call at the Nightingale by Katherine Schellman
Last Call at the Nightingale beckons readers into a darkly glamorous speakeasy where music, liquor, and secrets flow. At The Nightingale, Vivian forgets the dangers of Prohibition-era New York and finds a place that feels like home. But then she discovers a body behind the club, and those dangers come knocking.
The story of two friends, raised in the same orphanage, whose loyalty is put to the ultimate test when they meet years later at a controversial institution–one as an employee, the other, an inmate. This gripping page-turner will have readers on the edge of their seats right up to the stunning last page…asking themselves, “Did this really happen here?”
