Florida Girls: A Novel (The Queenpin Chronicles) by L.L. Kirchner

A liberty bond tour full of eager young girls. A sunny town with a seedy underbelly. When the women start shooting back, will anyone survive?

St. Petersburg, Florida, 1944. Thelma Miles can’t stomach injustice. Broke and orphaned near the close of WWII, the 18-year-old joins a troupe of touring swimsuit models, only to find she's stepped into the mafia's lair.

Kathleen Young, desperate to save her business and ailing husband, organizes the tour. But her single-minded focus blinds her to the dangers lurking beneath the surface.

* Real-life characters and meticulous historical detail
