博客來It’s 1924 Brooklyn, and Celia and Ed Cooney embark on a crime spree. As the pair’s robberies become more audacious and the police bungle their attempts to nab them, the papers have a heyday with the police department’s ineptitude. Increasingly humiliated, the police commissioner gives the order to shoot to kill. Will Celia and Ed elude the deadly dragnet of Brooklyn’s men in blue?
＂Gun Girl and the Tall Guy is a gripping historical novel based on the true story of Celia and Ed Cooney. Through vivid, evocative prose and a cinematic storytelling style, Maryka Biaggio captures the grit and tension of 1920s Brooklyn, immersing readers in a world where love and crime collide.＂
