⚖️ “In a city divided by prejudice and power, one Sicilian immigrant must fight to survive amid corruption, violence, and the deadliest lynching in U.S. history.”

Based on true events, S. R. Perricone’s Cobblestones – A New Orleans Tragedy is a gripping tale of injustice, survival, and the fight for dignity in a city torn apart by fear and hate.

The second entry in B.K. Greenwood's 'Last Roman' series and, for some reason, this one didn't resonate with me quite as much as the first.

I'm not sure why, as it does follow the same stylistic setting as the earlier entry with chapter about being modern times/historical (I think I actually preferred this aspect of the two), and with the same set of characters as the first (bar a few minor changes); but maybe it was because I felt the 'U-Boat lost up the Amazon' had been done before?

(Personally, I kept flashing back to the Uncharted series of video games with that whole segment)

I will still read entry #3, however.
