A Gritty 1980s Chicago Hardboiled Mystery of Blackmail, Mayoral Elections, and PI Tradecraft

In 1983 Chicago, as a heated mayoral election plunges the city into political turmoil, private investigator Dan Kruger takes a case for wealthy real estate developer Nicholas Cheyney. Cheyney is being blackmailed by unknown operatives threatening to expose secrets from his past that could ruin his business empire.

Navigating snowy Chicago streets, corrupt precinct bosses, and syndicate enforcers, Kruger uncovers a web of political bribery and municipal fraud. As Cheyney's blackmailers turn to violence, the weary detective must determine who is pulling the strings before he is framed for murder.
