Synopsis
This novel was a finalist for the Shamus Award for Best First Private Eye Novel.
“A pure delight for many reasons, not the least of which
is the way Jack Clark celebrates and rings a few changes
on the familiar private-eye script…There’s a memorable
moment [on] virtually every page.”
—Chicago Tribune
“Clark knows his city: the geography and flavor of
the neighborhoods are vividly presented, and
interesting, often quirky characters are introduced
along this fascinating ride.”
—Chicago Reader
“Jack Clark’s descriptions are beautifully haunting and
his plotting is exceptional.”
—Romantic Times
“A likeable protagonist and spirited, uncluttered prose: a
promising debut by a Chicago cabbie who may drive a
hack but doesn’t write like one.”
—Kirkus Review
"It's a great read." --Publishers Weekly
