About this title

Review:

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.
