Black Ball

In the 1920s, ladies’ hair is short, music is loud, and the underground secret world of New York is flowing with alcohol and illegal magic.

Emily Trent has always lived in the shadow of her more elegant and prettier sister Amelia. But when Amelia is murdered, something doesn’t add up, especially when Emily discovers a secret spell crafting kit in Amelia’s room.

To solve the mystery, Emily will have to dive into the world of the illegal spellcraft trade and the roaring night life of the speakeasies of New York. Her only clue: a letter addressed to Miss Millie DeBoer–aka the belle of Black Ball, the city’s most infamous night club. But Black Ball was busted by the cops, and no one knows where, or if, this moving party will pop up next….
