Speakeasy (2018)
(Lena Stillman, book 1)
Alisa Smith
"A great achievement, and pure pleasure. Speakeasy drew me into its wild heart and didn’t let go. The novel’s two narrators give a stereoscopic take on a life of crime during the Great Depression, and one of them - a bold, brilliant, somewhat unscrupulous young woman - is later recruited to crack Japanese codes at a secret Allied base in the Pacific Northwest."
