There's something deadly brewing in Moon's Landing.
Photographer Birdie Lopez is invited to a midnight gala at the town's historic brewery-the very place that gave Moon's Landing its name and once belonged to the infamous bootlegger Whisky Moon during Prohibition.
But the celebration turns grim when a body is discovered inside one of the brewery tanks... and the prime suspect is Mason "Whiskey" Moon, heir to the notorious legacy and one of the town's wealthiest men.
Birdie doesn't believe he's guilty-not for a second. And instead of hiring an expensive investigative team, Mason turns to Birdie to help prove his innocence. With her vintage camera, sharp instincts, and loyal coonhound Butterscotch, Birdie begins peeling back the dark history of the brewery and the dangerous secrets still fermenting beneath the surface.
As old grudges resurface and powerful interests close in, Birdie must uncover the real killer before Mason loses everything-and Moon's Whisky becomes the next casualty of murder.
