Babineaux's Square Luke Barnard

A violent, sweltering summer covers the city. Prohibition has made criminals into heroes and villains of the virtuous. Energy and dissension vibrate along every sidewalk seam, pound from behind the muffled doors of speakeasies, and sound within the halls of power. It is a city ready to run wild, ready for havoc; a city on the edge. When a deadly encounter sets traffic officer Frank Babineaux on a collision course with a nefarious underworld boss, the powder keg ignites. Frank is thrust into the chaos, the unlikely center of the war, burdened with saving the soul of the city even as he struggles to understand his own.
