The Ghost of River Street
By Richard M. Eunice
One custom-built engine. Two outlaws with nothing to loose. A thousand miles of swamp to outrun.
Savannah, 1927. The "Wettest City in the South" is a powder keg of moonshine, jazz, and blood. Theo Richardson is a man who speaks the language of pistons and grease, a mechanic with a dark past and the fastest car on the Atlantic coast-a reinforced Model A built to fly through the marsh mud.
When Clara Beaumont, a debutante with a taste for danger, flees high-society to be a Rum Runner, she chooses the only driver desperate enough to take the job.
From the treacherous, moss-draped "Veins" of the Georgia coast to the skeletal iron of unfinished bridges, the duo is hunted by a relentless federal agent and the Commander's private fleet of armored cutters. As the chase spills across the South Carolina Lowcountry and toward the lawless shores of Havana, Theo and Clara must decide what they're willing to sacrifice: the machine, their mission, or each other.
The Ghost of River Street is a high-octane Southern Pulp Thriller that blends historical grit with the breakneck speed of a classic noir. For fans of hard-boiled adventure, vintage automotive lore, and tales of outlaws who refuse to be caught.
