One moment, MIT senior Maxine is in an interdimensional fish tank. The next, she's stark naked in the middle of a bustling 1920s city street, surrounded by gawking men in fedoras and the blare of Model T Fords. Rescued by the quick-witted, cigarette-smoking Ruby, Max is whisked into a world of speakeasies, flapper dresses, and moonshine, a vibrant chaos that's both exhilarating and terrifying.

But navigating the Jazz Age is harder than it looks. As Max tries to blend in, her extraordinary nature catches the eye of none other than Al Capone himself. The notorious gangster, sharp as a razor, hints that he knows her secret: she’s not just new to the city, but "out-of-time." He offers her a cryptic test, a job that could either make her invaluable or mark her for a very public—and very permanent—disappearance.

Trapped in a bygone era, with a mysterious, powerful gangster watching her every move, Max must use every ounce of her MIT-trained mind to survive. Can she decode Capone's intentions and find a way back to her own time, or will she become just another fascinating secret buried in the roaring '20s?

Step into a thrilling, anachronistic adventure where intellectual brilliance meets Prohibition-era grit. Perfect for readers who love witty heroines, historical mysteries with a sci-fi twist, and a healthy dose of danger.
