Summary

Providing refuge from the gangster wars of the Prohibition days, Cobb's Landing became a haven for the leaders of organized crime and a location where they were free to frolic and party. The wild and careless actions roused the town to become a gang of vigilantes determined to rout the high-flying gangsters from their locale. Surviving a personal tragedy and deliberately prevented from associating with his mobster grandfather, Adam Bell was determined never to return to the scene where his family had been destroyed. Still, something was calling to him, something from the past, something that hovered over him. Could it be tied to the gorgeous Maggie Bartell, someone that he should know? But how?, From when? And from where? Adventure, action, passion, love and intrigue abound in Schwartz's exciting tale of the development of a lifelong bond which is held in place by the terrible secrets of three youngsters whose lives are molded by the incidents of one, long-ago day.

Author Biography

Duane Schwartz, born and raised near Minnesota's Mesabi Iron Range, lives a quiet country life with his wife, Betty, where they enjoy a variety of hobbies (hiking in the woods, motorcycle touring, classic cars, and, of course, writing).Schwartz is a published short-story writer who has been practicing his trade for many years. Cobb's Landing, his debut novel, was inspired by a walk in the woods where he and his wife stumbled across a deserted prohibition days resort. From that experience his novel grew. Currently Schwartz is working on his second novel, Calumet, a story of the boom days of a now forgotten mining town. He expects to complete this work and publish yet this year.
