The Pink Slipper Cabaret: A Brooklyn Murder Mystery

By John Charles Gifford

The year is 1940. Brooklyn's District Attorney is about to drop the hammer on Murder Incorporated-the National Crime Syndicate's lethal enforcement arm of ice-cold killers. But before the first arrests are made, they need one man above all: a phantom hitman tied to the murder of an important innocent businessman. The order is clear-find him, dead or alive. Enter Detective Elliot Reed. He's got seven days to hunt the invisible killer hiding in Brownsville's shadows. Posing as a contract killer, Reed infiltrates the underworld, risking everything to draw out his target. But nothing in this game is what it seems- and as he gets closer to the truth, Reed discovers a connection that reaches deep into his own past. A revelation that could destroy him. Love. Betrayal. Honor. Deceit. The Pink Slipper Cabaret weaves fact and fiction into a gritty thriller that captures the pulse of prewar Brooklyn and the deadly game played in its back alleys. Step into a world of smoky bars, corrupt alliances, and moral ambiguity-where the cost of justice may be your soul.
