The Mayor Of Maxwell Street – Avery Cunningham<\/p><\/div>\n

Nelly Sawyer, daughter of the supposed richest black man in the country, comes to 1920s Chicago for her brother’s funeral and finds that her parents have committed her to becoming a debutante.\u00a0 While balancing her newly found social requirements with her desire to become a reporter, she goes after her first, and most dangerous, story: who is the so-called Mayor of Maxwell Street.\u00a0 She teams with the mysterious Jay Shorey, working to uncover the mayor’s identity while keeping herself out of trouble.\u00a0 When tragedy strikes during and after the cotillion, Nelly stumbles upon the surprising identity of the mayor, but can she still protect herself and her family?<\/p>\n

The Mayor of Maxwell Street<\/em>, the debut novel from Avery Cunningham, is an intriguing look at the upper crust of black society during the Prohibition era in Chicago.\u00a0 As a local, it was interesting to see descriptions of areas I know from a century ago, but I don’t know how vivid those descriptions play to someone not familiar with the area.\u00a0 I’ll keep an eye out to see what Cunningham has coming out next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
