OverviewIt s 1953 and life is good at Shady s, the Sweetwater brothers fish camp, dancehall, and beer joint on Ransom Island. The biggest event in the island s history is coming up an integrated dance featuring Duke Ellington. It s a daring idea for fifties-era Texas, and not everyone is happy about it. But soon interracial dancing becomes the least of the Sweetwaters problems. Galveston mobsters track a runaway girl to Shady s and decide the offbeat island is the perfect place to diversify their illegal rackets . . . And God help anyone who gets in their way. Suddenly, life on sleepy little Ransom Island becomes crowded, complicated and very, very dangerous. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Miles ArceneauxPublisher: Stephen F.
