THE AWARD-WINNING DEBUT NOVEL FROM ROWAN O'NEILL
Horror / Historical Fiction.

Chicago, 1923. Jimmy Maloney, a dock labourer, is forced to join an organised crime syndicate to provide for his family. In the shadow of Prohibition, The Syndicate traffics a mysterious narcotic—deadlier and easier to smuggle than bootleg whiskey. As Jimmy climbs the ladder of organised crime and corrupt Chicago politics, he slowly uncovers a chilling truth: The Syndicate is run by an ancient evil and its criminal enterprise is a front for much worse.
