Mystery Private Eye
After a hiatus, Dymmoch returns with a new Chicago
thriller full of her trademark reader-friendly features
When a woman is brutally raped in Chicago's posh Lincoln
Park, Chicago Detective John Thinnes gets the case.
Thinnes hates working rapes. Worse, he's partnered with a
new female detective who has a chip on her shoulder the
size of a twelve-gauge shotgun. As the rape becomes the
first in a series of 'heater cases' -high-profile crimes
with political connotations-Thinnes' job is complicated by
friction, both at home and on the case. Tempers flare, and
the squad polarizes across the gender line. Psychiatrist
and police consultant Dr. Jack Caleb is asked to mediate,
but Thinnes' sometime ally finds himself with conflicts of
interest-because of his friendship and his own peculiar
case load. In her best book yet, Michael Allen Dymmoch
weaves a complex tale ranging from Chicago's Lincoln Park
to the northern suburb of Waukegan. The explosive climax
explores not only the karma of evil, but the beginning of
a beautiful feline friendship.
