A Cozy Mystery with a Dash of Mobster Gold. She's from the Bronx. He's from Brooklyn. They meet at the Concord Hotel. It's the summer of 1944 as Dotty and Abe arrive at the bustling Concord Hotel in the heart of the Catskill Mountains' famous Borscht Belt. They are eager to start their new jobs as waitress and busboy but soon discover that serving demanding diners and dealing with unruly guests-including Abe's impossible-to-please mother-is the least of their worries. Rumors swirl that a notorious Murder, Inc. gangster has hidden a fortune in cash somewhere in the area. As Dotty and Abe are swept into the race to discover the whereabouts of the legendary loot, they find themselves dodging more than just grumpy guests. With dangerous characters lurking around every corner, the duo must stay one step ahead if they want to keep their future in the mountains from crumbling. Will Dotty and Abe hit the jackpot, or will they become the next victims of a deadly game? Fans of Dirty Dancing and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel will love Banquets & Bootleg Bounty, the first in the Catskills Capers series by Lily Barrish Levner. "This book is such a treat. Banquets & Bootleg Bounty is a fantastically fun romp through the height of the Catskills with spot-on historical accuracy. Author Lily Barrish Levner gives readers a bird's eye view of the dining rooms at the Concord, with a pinch of romance and a side of danger. Grab a bowl of matzo ball soup and enjoy the ride!"
