Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray’s newest coauthored release delivers their signature exploration of race, class, and sexism and ups the ante with courtroom drama and mob intrigue. "A Pair of Aces" imagines the iconic true downfall of mobster Lucky Luciano through the perspective of female historical figures, Eunice Carter, Manhattan’s first Black female prosecutor; and Polly Adler, the city’s most notorious madam. With Benedict’s background as a litigation lawyer adding authenticity to the courtroom drama and Murray’s signature portrayal of strong Black heroines, "A Pair of Aces" delivers a gripping blend of suspense, history, and women’s empowerment from two authors at the top of their game.
