the anti-heroine of an era of bathtub gin, organized crime, and jazz, clouded in the smoke of fired guns and cigarettes.
“A warrior feeds her body well. She trains it, works on it. Where she lacks knowledge, she studies.
But above all, she must believe in her strength of will and purpose and heart and soul.”

— David Gemmel
