Kompletní popis

Chicago, 1933. A man comes up from Detroit to deliver a message to the woman who has taken over the Lexington Hotel. He has been told her name. The name is the kind of name a person gives when they do not want to give a name. Doe. Ruth Doe.

She is nineteen years old. She has killed Al Capone. She is just getting started.

What follows is the story of the years in which a girl from an orphanage on the South Side became the most powerful person in the city, and the cost of becoming her. Federal agents who cannot find what was not there to be found. A husband in Toledo who learns the price of certain kinds of love. A woman in Cleveland who recognizes, on a snowy Tuesday in February, the face she saw on her own porch. A handshake in a Lexington suite that no one will ever write down.

She does not say the word love. She does not need to.
