During the Roaring Twenties

Ben Kerr was known as the King of the Rumrunners. The U.S. Coast Guard put him at the top of the most-wanted list and offered a reward of $5,000. But ending up in Club Fed was not Kerr's only worry - he had to contend with Hamilton crime lords Rocco and Bessie Perri.

Whisky and Ice

takes the reader back to the Prohibition era, when Canada and the United States were obsessed with demon liquor (not to mention the endless posturing by politicians). As Hunt aptly writes, the U.S. during Prohibition was about as dry as the mud flats of the Mississippi at high tide.
