The dramatic historical crime drama of Kate Brady continues as she joins the FBI, falls in love with an agent and goes undercover to bring down a major crime family.Jewish mafia godfather Ben Gold is dead and the file is closed as far as law enforcement is concerned. His widow is attending college and living on the millions of dollars of ill-gotten gain that Ben had left her, and trying to put the life of a moll behind her. But once again, even from beyond the grave, Ben Gold drags her back into the dangerous world of gangster and guns. When handsome FBI agent Adam Fairchild is introduced as a guest lecturer, she feels immediately drawn to him, and he to her. A steamy love affair ensues and soon she risks her life by revealing her darkest secret to him. He too reveals a secret, and together they hatch a plan for her to infiltrate the dark and cavernous world of the Levine crime family and somehow bring them all to justice. She meets with J. Edgar Hoover, gets her orders, takes an oath, and embarks on a brave and danger-filled journey teeming with suspense and close calls throughout. Along the way she discovers that she is a strong and capable woman who earns the trust of the bad guys and the respect of the law enforcement officials.

The Red Scarf: The Kate Brady Series (Book Two), by Babette Hughes Review Praise for The Hat, Book One in the Kate Brady series: A captivating love story with a twist. Richly drawn characters in an era of gangsters and bootleggers." --Joseph Kertes, Winner, National Jewish Book Award for Fiction
"This is a terrific story that chronicles the beginning of the Mafia and its revelations that profoundly changed lives forever." --Jewish Book World
"This is a deceptively simple tale told in a straightforward, spare manner. The author is particularly good at drawing the blithe lack of self-awareness of an inexperienced young woman, as well as pointing out the self-centeredness of youth." --Historical Novels Review
"The novel's Ben Gold could pass as a universal Jewish underworld type during Prohibition and the Great Depression." --Alfred Fried, Pulitzer nominee and author
“Riveting.... The book sizzles with sex.... Its harrowing conclusion left me breathless. Hughes is a gifted writer”. -―Violet Spevack, Cavalcade columnist, Cleveland Jewish News
“Hughes does an outstanding job of not only bringing the Cleveland mafia underworld alive to a surprise ending, but also in describing the role of women in crime families and what people will do for money.” -―David Goebel, Editor, The Cleveland Press

At 22, she's entered college and wants to meet a nice man, ready to leave behind her identity as mob-widow. Unfortunately for her (great news for readers), it's not as easy as she'd hoped-- this time she's on the side of the law, as she volunteers to work undercover for J Edgar Hoover.The writing is bracing and clever, and the story moves along at a galloping pace. There are wonderful moments of comedy and wit, and there is also a specificity of details that places the story squarely in 1936 (movie stars, crimes, historical events, even food). All this is good stuff, but the best treat of all is Kate herself. She's funny, sensitive and a little eccentric, bouncing along on one adventure after another. I hope we will see more of her!

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. More from Kate Brady! By lgreenwell The Red Scarf finds Kate Brady starting her new life after the death of her husband, mobster Ben Gold. Looks like things might quiet down with college and a new love, but quickly Kate finds herself living on the edge when she gets involved with another crime family after befriending Mimi, who is married to an abusive gangster who has Lady MacBeth for a mother! Hughes' writing is crisp, clean, and witty--things move along at nice clip. Using a female protagonist to tell a mob story during the bootlegging age is an original twist, and Hughes succeeds creating a female voice that is sympathetic, funny (in a crime drama, no less!) and smart. I'm hoping to hear more from Kate Brady--she attracts adventure!
