Chicago, one week after Pearl Harbor.
When a brutally mutilated woman is pulled from the river, Detective Joseph Boccaccio finds himself investigating a murder that places him at the center of the suspect list. He was the last man to see her alive.
Forced to hunt a killer while clearing his own name, Joe follows a trail through mob territory, Catholic neighborhoods, and a city owned by men the law cannot touch. The deeper he goes, the more the case exposes the violence buried in his family, his faith, and himself.
Gin & Rouge is a dark noir novel about murder, moral debt, and what happens when the truth costs more than silence.
