The year is 1926, and despite the laws of Prohibition, someone in the criminal underworld is willing to exploit, and destroy, their thirsty customers. After the mystery of Barleycorn Bay, Prohibition agent Johnny Quaid has grown weary of bootleggers and speak-easies. When he finds an empty bottle of Duchess on a dead man, he is determined to stop the producer. His mission will send him after a mysterious woman with a network of thriving marauders, and deep into her lair where the innocent are introduced to every kind of suffering. "Duchess" is the third novel by J.P. Burke and a sequel to 2015's "Barleycorn Bay."
