Irish beauty Diana Cantwell falls in love with Max Von Hoffsten, the charming heir to a German count, during the carefree days before World War I. Their engagement is marred by Max’s father's demand for a ‘left-handed marriage,’ a German aristocratic custom that denies Diana and their future children any claim to Max's title or wealth. Despite the terms, the couple revels in their new life, hosting extravagant parties from Ascot to the Alps. However, as war looms, Diana grows uneasy with Max's unpredictable behavior and suspects dark secrets behind his family’s glamorous facade. When war breaks out, she finds herself torn between loyalties—her Anglo-Irish family fights for the British while Max serves in the German army. Choosing to stay with her husband, Diana becomes a target of mistrust in Germany and is branded a traitor by the British press. After Max is reported missing, she faces rejection from his family. Widowed, destitute, and with her reputation destroyed by the war, Diana embarks on a journey to rebuild her life. A. O’Connor masterfully weaves a tale of love, loyalty, and resilience, blending meticulous research with compelling storytelling that captivates readers.

Divoká dvacátá léta. V USA vládne prohibice, ale národ pije víc alkoholu než kdykoliv předtím. O další a další dodávky se starají dobře organizované bandy gangsterů, proti kterým vede policie marný boj. Marný i proto, že na pašeráctví vydělává také. Mravy jsou drsné a lidský život nemá velkou hodnotu, když jde o dolary. Gangsterští šéfové si vydržují celé armády zabijáků a sami si žijí jako králové…
Do kanceláře Pata Connora zavítala již řada podivných týpků, nemluvě už o jejich přáních, ale kapitán Armády spásy – to byla skutečně premiéra. A jeho prosba také. Pat Connor měl hrát bodyguarda jedné z jeho oveček. Ethel O'Brannonové bylo dvacet a stála za hřích. Bohužel bylo toho mínění hodně lidí a také kapitán sledoval vlastní cíle…
V Chicagu se soukromý detektiv Pat Connor pokouší nedostat se mezi obě mezi sebou bojující fronty, a přesto prosadit spravedlnost. Aby člověk přežil v nádrži se žraloky, musí však také sám ukázat zuby.
Pat Connor nemohl uvěřit tomu, když Betty přivlekla do kanceláře svou přítelkyni. Byla to jedna chudá imigrantka z Polska, která ho prosila, abych našel jejího nezvěstného strýce. Nebyl přece žádná chůva a už vůbec ne pro polské přistěhovalce, kteří se motají kolem jatek.
