Joe Gola and 81 other people liked None Ofyourbusiness Loves Israel's review of Shadow Ticket:
Shadow Ticket by Thomas Pynchon
"A Milwaukee private detective named Hicks McTaggart is trudging through the Prohibition hangover years of the 1930s, when the city still smells faintly of bathtub gin, fish fry, and quiet corruption. He works for the comically named Unamalgamated Ops" Read more of this review »

Allison Joe,
Just finished reading Melmouth by Sarah Perry. Gothic horror-ish set in Prague now and during WWII. I kept thinking you'd like it better than anyone I know.
Don't miss it!
