Join us in our virtual speakeasy for cocktails and a conversation with New York Times best selling author, Karen Abbott.

Brewseum Executive Director, Liz Garibay chats with Karen about her latest book, The Ghosts of Eden Park, which tells the true story of George Remus, America’s most successful bootlegger and real-life inspiration for Jay Gatsby. Remus was riding high until his wife fell in love with the very federal agent who put him in jail, sparking a feud that reached the highest levels of government - and that could only end in murder.

The duo will also discuss the infamous Everleigh sisters, operators of the most famous brothel in American history and the catalyst for Karen’s first book, Sin in the Second City.
