About Sara & The Mad Dog A Crime Novel

New York City, 1932. A City of Shadows, Secrets, and Songs. The Great Depression grips the nation, and New York City teeters on the edge of chaos-its streets alive with machinegun fire and ruthless gangsters. Against this gritty backdrop, Sara Carter, the lead singer of the Carter Family, arrives from Tennessee to perform at the famed Carnegie Hall. She's homesick, trapped in a troubled marriage, and haunted by the memory of a lost love. Her first hour in the city takes an unexpected turn when a thief targets her beloved autoharp-and a dashing, silver-tongued stranger swoops in to save the day. His charm is undeniable, his intentions intriguing. What Sara doesn't know is that her gallant rescuer is none other than Mad Dog Coll, a notorious gangster at the center of a bloody gang war. As the night unfolds, Sara is drawn deeper into the deadly underworld of rival mob bosses, corrupt cops, and Mad Dog's dangerously jealous girlfriend. With the concert looming and the stakes rising, Sara must navigate a perilous web of violence, betrayal, and forbidden desire. Can she escape unscathed, or will this fateful night change her life-and music-forever?
