Publisher's summary
It's bathtub gin, smoky jazz clubs and bullet-ridden corpses as Indy comes on like gangbusters in prohibition-era Chicago. Going to college and working in a seedy speakeasy bring Indy into contact with jazz great Sidney Bechet who teaches him how to play the blues. Unfortunately, he also crosses paths with up-and-coming thug Al Capone and it's only with the assistance of his dorm roommate, future Untouchable Eliot Ness, that Indy is able to solve a vicious murder and prevent himself from ending up in a pair of cement overshoes.

Bookend
In 1950, Indiana Jones and his friend Great Cloud were pursued by car in snowy rural Wyoming. After losing their sun-toting pursuers, Indy crashed their truck in a snowbank, and they proceeded on foot to an empty cabin. In the cabin, Great Cloud revealed what their pursuers were after: an ancient peace pipe that is also the most sacred relic of Great Cloud's people. Indy discovered a soprano saxophone in the cabin and recounted the story of how it is significant to him.
