Synopsis "The Church at Parkers Wharf"

The old brick church at Parkers Wharf has endured the ravages of time and a War of 1812 naval bombardment, but can it survive the fallout from a 1920's liquor war? Jackson Dwyer would be hard pressed to remember the last time he attended church. But he has pined for Camilla McClelland-the teetotaling sweetheart who jilted him-for over thirty years, and fought the urge to drink for almost as long. He's respected, financially secure, and energized by the prospect of marketing Ollie the Oyster crackers. And then, with Prohibition on the horizon, he is elected mayor and his life turns upside down. The bayside town of Nevis is overwhelmed by bootleggers, sniping temperance forces, and rumrunners seeking riches at any cost. With a tenacious reporter digging for a career-defining scoop, and racketeers knocking on his door, Mayor Dwyer struggles to strike a balance between Prohibition, the needs of the community, and his personal ethics.
