Welcome to Atlantic City, where the air is scented with the sugar of seaside taffy and bourbon, and the promise of a good time lingers in the doorway of every speakeasy along the boardwalk.
But like everything in this town, rub hard enough at what glitters and you’ll soon find tin beneath the gold.

When ambitious bootlegger Milton and his glamorous mob wife and speakeasy singer, Pearl, are accused of a brutal murder, they both claim innocence. Awaiting trial, each narrates their version of events, desperate to avoid the death penalty. But only one of them is telling the truth—about the crime and who they really are.

As Milton recounts his tale of how he rose to the top of the mob, making friends, lovers and enemies along the way, Pearl is telling tales of her own and revealing the hidden, violent truth of what it’s really like to be married to the mob and be caught up in the thick of it when trouble brews in Atlantic City.

Set in 1927 Prohibition-era America, Trouble In Atlantic City is a thrilling tale of ambition, toxic relationships, and revenge. It asks the chilling question: how well can you ever really know the person you sleep beside each night?

An historical crime thriller described as 'Boardwalk Empire meets Gone Girl', ‘Trouble In Atlantic City’ is a thrilling tale of ambition, toxic relationships and the extreme lengths someone will go in order to get revenge.
