ABOUT THE BOOK
“Michael Harvey is a magnificent new voice.”
-John Grisham“A nifty retro-noir series.”
-The New York Times Book Review“Dazzlingly good.”
-The Plain-Dealer“Another sophisticated caper…. Harvey brilliantly brings all the threads together and provides a satisfying conclusion.”
-The Missourian“Harvey’s superb second thriller . . . Harvey’s plot twists in all the right places, and his noir-inspired dialogue crackles without sounding showy. Marlowe and Spade would readily welcome Michael Kelly into their fold.”
-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Private detective Michael Kelly returns in a lightning-paced, intricately woven mystery. When Kelly is hired by an old girlfriend to tail her abusive husband, he expects trouble of a domestic rather than a historical nature. Life, however, is not so simple.
The trail leads to a dead body in an abandoned house on Chicago’s North Side and then to places Kelly would rather not go: specifically, City Hall’s fabled fifth floor, where the mayor is feeling the heat. Kelly becomes embroiled in a scam that stretches from current politics back to the night Chicago burned to the ground. Along the way, he finds himself framed for murder, before finally facing a killer bent on rewriting history.
