Author Works: A Pair of Aces

Bestselling author Victoria Christopher Murray discusses her gripping new novel A Pair of Aces, written in collaboration with Marie Benedict. This is the story of two trailblazing women on opposite sides of the law — a prosecutor and a madam — who team up to bring down notorious Mob boss Lucky Luciano in 1930s New York. NPR recommends the new novel by this team of authors, saying, “Most of this novel is about power – who has it, who wields it best, and who can take it away. The women here fight for it at every turn: power over their careers, power over their bodies, and even for their seat at the table.”*

Victoria Christopher Murray is the author of more than 30 novels. Her novels The Personal Librarian and The First Ladies, which she co-authored with Marie Benedict, were both instant New York Times bestsellers and her novel Stand Your Ground won an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work – Fiction. Four of her novels have been made into TV movies for Lifetime.
