Résumé

It's 1924 and Rhode Island is Dry. And hating it. Prohibition was never popular in the state that refused to ratify the 18th Amendment banning the sale and use of alcoholic beverages. As the Ocean State, lots of Rhode Islanders found work as rum runners. Especially shuttles out to 'Rum Row, ' a flotilla of boats loaded with booze sitting at anchor in international waters, just outside the three-mile boundary limit. John Edward Haddock is a merchant mariner in the town of Little Penwick who is offered a cool grand to take the Black Duck, the fastest motor vessel in Narragansett Bay, out to Rum Row just before New Year's Eve.
The Duck, upgraded with surplus WWI aircraft engines, is even faster than the Coast Guard cutters patrolling the coastline. John Edward knows it's wrong, and he's loathe to get involved with the criminal element, like Boston's notorious Charles 'King' Solomon . but he could use the money. To start building the house of his dreams, and to propose to the girl of his dreams: Vollie Jeffords. Rum Row is the novella that tells the story of that dramatic nighttime voyage.
And it's a prequel to the Swamp Yankee Mystery series by award-winning author James Y. Bartlett.

Biographie de James Y. Bartlett

One of the most prolific golf writers of his generation, James Y. Bartlett's first Hacker golf mystery, Death is a Two-Stroke Penalty, was published in hardcover by St. Martin's Press in 1991. The second, Death from the Ladies Tee, followed a year later. After a hiatus of nearly ten years ("Hey! I had to earn a living, " Bartlett says) in 2005 Yeoman House brought out those two novels as well as the new Death at the Member-Guest simultaneously in trade softcover editions.
The latest in the Hacker series, Death in a Green Jacket, was published in 2007 and begins what the author is calling Hacker's major series.  The latest Hacker golf mystery, Death from the Claret Jug, was published by Yeoman House in the summer of 2018. James Y. Bartlett has been a golf writer and editor for nearly 20 years and has probably published more words about the game of golf than any other living writer.
He has worked as features editor at Golfweek, editor of Luxury Golf magazine, and executive editor of Caribbean Travel & Life magazine. As a freelance writer, his work has appeared in dozens of national magazines, ranging from Esquire to Bon Appetit. He was the golf columnist for Forbes FYI (now Forbes Life) for every issue of the first 12 years of that magazine's history. And under the pseudonym of "A.
G. Pollard Jr." is now in his 16th year of providing witty golf pieces for the readers of Hemispheres, the in-flight magazine of United Air Lines. In addition to his Hacker mystery series, Bartlett is the author of four nonfiction books. He currently lives in Rhode Island with his wife Susan.
