About this ebook
Death on the Chicago waterfront pulls a PI into a twisting case: “An underappreciated, carefully crafted series” (Booklist).
Two years ago, a computer software specialist was found dead in Belmont Harbor, an apparent suicide. Now, the body of a low-rent bookie has been found very close to the same spot—and the businessman’s wealthy widow hires Paul Whelan to find out whether her husband really killed himself at all.
There are, in fact, connections between the two men—and as Whelan tries to sort them out with some unofficial help from a friend on the force, he’s drawn into a world of missing accountants, mysterious tough guys, and dirty deals . . .
“Sleek plotting . . . Raleigh, who delivered the goods in his debut novel, Death in Uptown, shows no signs of faltering.” —Publishers Weekly

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This one was just as good or maybe a bit better than the last book. Not that it relied a lot on the setting of the other, but at least it was more familiar & there were a few old faces. Good mystery, too. He's a somewhat understated hero, but very tenacious. Good reader, too. I'll listen to another.
