Synopsis

No boundaries.  No limits.  No turning back.

His boots are frozen.  His hands are covered with sin: the blood and sweat of a trashed motel room where a wealthy Chicago doctor has been on a binge of sex, sadism, and drugs.  Harding is just doing his job, an unlicensed PI running surveillance on a cheating husband.  At stake is a woman's divorce settlement, two million dollars in a Swiss bank account, and some harrowing videotape.  But for Harding, a simple domestic case is about to explode into the Chicago night.

Suddenly, the investigation into Elenya Rosenberg's depraved doctor husband is leading Harding to places he can't afford to go-and to a bizarre killer with a taste for body-piercing and ancient Greek philosophy.  And as Harding gets closer to the sordid truth about the Rosenbergs, he collides with a violent chapter of his own past-when Harding made a choice, a bad man went free, and a good man went too far, but also not far enough. . .

Review

Wessel's first novel introduces Harding, a Chicago private investigator who has lost his license to operate and must depend on slick operators to throw work his way, but who nevertheless maintains a cool, wisecracking style. Harding's charming quirks include a devotion to horror movies and a weakness for women who sing sad, soulful songs. Hired to check out a plastic surgeon with shady finances and kinky vices, Harding is assisted by a photographer and a computer whiz in this original debut.
