Fiction
The man who calls himself David Loogan is leading a quiet,
anonymous life in the college town of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
He's hoping to escape a violent past he would rather
forget. But his solitude is broken when he finds himself
drawn into a friendship with Tom Kristoll, the publisher of
the mystery magazine Gray Streets-and into an affair with
Laura, Tom's sleek blond wife. What Loogan doesn't realize
is that the stories in Gray Streets tend to follow a simple
formula: Plans go wrong. Bad things happen. People die. Elizabeth Waishkey is a single mother. She's also the most
talented detective in the Ann Arbor Police Department. But
when Tom Kristoll turns up dead, she doesn't know quite
what to make of David Loogan. Is he a killer, or an ally
who might help her discover the truth? Loogan suspects his
friend's death is part of a much larger puzzle, and he's
not going to wait for someone else to put the pieces
together. As Loogan and Elizabeth navigate their way through
Kristoll's world, they find no shortage of people with
motives for murder, from a young graduate student obsessed
with Laura Kristoll to a trio of bestselling writers, all
of them with secrets they don't want uncovered. But as the
deaths start mounting up-some of them echoing stories
published in Gray Streets-Loogan begins to look more and
more like the most promising suspect. Soon it becomes clear
that only Elizabeth can find the path to solving both the
murders and the mystery of Loogan himself.
