Chicago 1934 and it is the end of prohibition and the era of the Public Enemy. Ross Duncan is a laconic, world weary bank robber, haunted by his conscience and the recent death of his partner during a bank robbery. After the murder of an aging mafia enforcer, Duncan is ‘hot property’ and receives job offers from the competing Irish and Italian mobsters, both hoping to secure his services before the other does. The Irishman and the Italians unwittingly hire him for the same job – the assassination of the Federal Prosecutor. But he is betrayed by his greedy accomplices on another job. No longer sure who he can trust, he manoeuvres his way between the two gangs, especially round the scheming and dangerous Irishman. Duncan is also on the run from J. Edgar Hoover’s fledgling FBI. He falls in love with his dead partner’s beautiful younger sister, Elinore, with her laudanum addiction and who is in the clutches of The Irishman as his underworld moll. Duncan is caught right in the middle of it all and in grasping for a chance of moral redemption from his life of crime, he finds his decisions and actions have been made at an unbearable cost. At the end, we find Duncan catching a late night train out of Chicago, lost, a failure, overcome with grief and exhaustion, and waiting for the soft, cool respite of dawn. This is a cool yet fast-paced and violent story of Tommy guns, cold gin martinis, sharp repartee, piles of cash, and deadly betrayals. ‘… a stiff noir cocktail: sharp dialogue, shadowy settings, and severe, coldblooded violence’ Kirkus Reviews

Sleep Not, My Child: A Ross Duncan Novel (Ross Duncan Novels)

The California Tule fog sits oppressively over the small town of Gentryville but it seems it has not deterred the antics of corrupt politicians, greedy developers and canny mobsters as they go about their business as usual. Duncan Ross, enroute to San Francisco and in town, is drawn to help Carmelita back home to her father after being stranded by her boyfriend, the boxer Joey Cosimo. Joey is manipulated through drugs by the local mayor and mobster, Tony Vargas. As Duncan slowly discovers the secrets of the town, he tries to stay alive and protect Carmelita and Joey but the body count increases as the stakes get higher. Mobsters from Detroit come into Gentryville to disrupt Vargas’ plans and to seek revenge from a past killing but as the violence mounts, Duncan finds himself at the centre of an even larger plan to usurp control of the Hetch Hetchy Water System. Underpinning this violence and crisp noir dialogue is the human tragedy borne of the desperate lives some people lead and the secrets they keep, with Duncan in his ever continuing quest to find the redemption he craves yet finding himself ever more deeply entrenched in the lawless killings of the competing mobsters and corrupt state enterprises.
