Nuala Anne McGrail has twice before amazed her faithful suitor, Dermot Coyne, with her psychic ability to reach back to the past and discover a wrong that needs righting. With their wedding only a few weeks away, Dermot's not a bit surprised when, while paying respects to his grandparents in Chicago's Mount Carmel Cemetery, Nuala points to the grave of the famous bootlegger Jimmy Sweet Rolls Sullivan and states in her usual charming and matter-of-fact way that there is nobody buried in it.
Before you can say Erin go bragh, Dermot finds himself doing the legwork on yet another historic mystery - this time on the odd circumstances surrounding the death of Al Capone's most famous rival. And, as in their other adventures, he finds that historic mysteries often can be too current for safety - and that even discreet inquiries can incur potentially lethal answers.
