One of my absolute favourite books. Ray Celestin did a wonderful job. The characters were interesting and the plot intriguing. Each character has a different backstory and motivation.  The author introduces you to a whole new world, late 1920s Chicago. Gangs, crimes, mystery, corrupted politicians, prohibition. All those element along side with Celestin's great writing illustrates intoxicating world. The book was kind of slow, but it picked up towards the end. I didn't predict the ending

and was really shocked by the death of Jacob and his realation with Dante

. To sup up, it was a great book, go read it :)
