Ronald Wright recommends
Speakeasy (2018)
(Lena Stillman, book 1)
Alisa Smith
"A great achievement, and pure pleasure. Speakeasy drew me into its wild heart and didn’t let go. The novel’s two narrators give a stereoscopic take on a life of crime during the Great Depression, and one of them - a bold, brilliant, somewhat unscrupulous young woman - is later recruited to crack Japanese codes at a secret Allied base in the Pacific Northwest."
