"An underappreciated, carefully crafted series." ―BOOKLIST
Margaret O'Mara's brother disappeared thirty years earlier, so when his last known associate is found murdered, O'Mara hires Chicago PI Paul Whelan to investigate.
Whelan makes the rounds through seedy bars and dilapidated apartment buildings, discovering connections to a long-gone Chicago amusement park where another murder took place forty years prior.
Soon, Whelan finds himself navigating his way through dark pasts, deep secrets, and a mystery that may cost him his life.

I can't think of any series of mysteries as devoted to one particular (and particularly grungy) section of a city as Michael Raleigh's books set in Uptown Chicago. Low-rent private eye Paul Whelan squeezes the information he needs from the working stiffs of Uptown the way a cook in one of his favorite greasy spoon restaurants squeezes dirty water from a sponge. This time, he's looking into the link between two deaths, 50 years apart, on the site where a popular amusement park softened the neighborhood's rougher moments. Raleigh's last Uptown outing, Killer on Argyle Street is also available.
Michael Raleigh has taught at Truman College for the past fourteen years.
