Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the 1930s, Kansas City's bustling West Bottoms district functioned as the hub of railroads, industry, and crime. But as the Great Depression tightened its grip, the district was left gasping for air. Beneath the economic collapse, a scandal erupts that shakes the region to its core. Over $1 million in forged bonds is uncovered, exposing a labyrinth of corruption that stretches from Kansas City to Chicago.

Years later, an aging survivor recounts the scandal to a curious granddaughter, revealing long-buried secrets. Against a backdrop of greed and ambition, lives collide and unravel in the rough-hewn streets of the West Bottoms. The question is not just who will survive-but whether anyone can escape unscathed from the storm of calculated betrayal that left its mark on them all.…
