Description
Dead Man's Blues: City Blues Quartet Book 2 by Ray Celestin is a gripping historical crime novel set in Chicago in 1928. Three disturbing events take place, including the poisoning of a clique of city leaders and the mutilation of a white gangster in an alleyway. Pinkerton detectives Michael Talbot and Ida Davis are hired to find a missing heiress, but their investigation proves harder than expected. Meanwhile, crime scene photographer Jacob Russo becomes obsessed with solving the Black Belt murder, while rum-runner Dante Sanfelippo is forced back into Chicago by Al Capone to investigate suspected treachery. As the three parties edge closer to the truth, their paths cross and their lives are threatened. This reissued edition features a fresh new cover and offers a gripping tale of crime, corruption, and the dark underbelly of 1920s America.
