America in the 1920s was a country alive with the wild fun of jazz, speakeasies, and a new kind of woman -- the flapper.

Vera Abramowitz is determined to leave her gritty childhood behind and
live a more exciting life, one that her mother never dreamed of. Bobbing
her hair and showing her knees, the lipsticked beauty dazzles, doing
the Charleston in nightclubs and earning the nickname "Dollface.”

As the ultimate flapper, Vera captures the attention of two high
rollers, a handsome nightclub owner and a sexy gambler. On their arms,
she gains entrée into a world filled with bootleg bourbon, wailing jazz,
and money to burn. She thinks her biggest problem is choosing between
them until the truth comes out. Her two lovers are really mobsters from
rival gangs during Chicago’s infamous Beer Wars, a battle Al Capone
refuses to lose.

The heady life she’s living is an illusion resting on a bedrock of crime
and violence unlike anything the country has ever seen before. When the
good times come to an end, Vera becomes entangled in everything from
bootlegging to murder. And as men from both gangs fall around her, Vera
must put together the pieces of her shattered life, as Chicago hurtles
toward one of the most infamous days in its history, the St. Valentine’s
Day Massacre.
