May 1952.
Mobsters, molls, and muscle are meeting in Kansas City to carve out territory, make deals, assert influence. They come from Chicago, Dallas, New Orleans, Detroit ... By plane, by car, and, in the case of mid-level heavy Mike Abati, by train from San Francisco. The FBI sees an opportunity. A chance to get close to the man, gather information, and have eyes and ears on the conference. A honey trap. Tom Keegan, San Francisco PD homicide detective, knows the right woman for the job. She's smart and cool. Seductive. Fearless. A rare and fiery combination of brass and sass. Would she agree to put her life on the line? If her cover is blown, she's dead. Besides, Vivian Davis, aka professional assassin Gunselle, doesn't do favors for cops. But Tom's doing the asking and it makes Vivian's heart beat a little faster. The job isn't all it appears to be. It comes with a side of betrayal. Because, after all, a girl has to look out for herself. Kansas City Breakdown is the sizzling follow-up to Bop City Swing, and the new joint project of Russell Thayer, author of the Gunselle stories, and M.E. Proctor, author of the Declan Shaw PI series.
