Mystery
What happens when the profession you’ve known all your
adult
life threatens to kill you, yet suffocating guilt and
insatiable curiosity won’t let you walk away? That’s pretty much what happens to Deuce Mora, a columnist
for the Chicago Journal, a big-city newspaper struggling to
stay solvent in a world that seems to have outgrown
newspapers and left them in ruin. What Deuce digs out of her “ideas” file is something that
should be, at best, a human-interest story. The tale of an
aging, low-level Chicago mobster living on beer, bourbon,
and regret for the one mistake in his life that cost him
everything. Deuce finds him in a Cicero bar late one
afternoon, already drunk and resolute in his determination
not to talk to her. Afraid for his safety in the boozy world he inhabits, Deuce
gives him a ride home and thus seals his brutal fate. She
is
left with more guilt than she can shoulder, more curiosity
than she can ignore, and in more danger than she can
imagine. The mobster’s final words to her shove her into a world of
political and criminal intrigue and confront her with a
horrific crime more than 50 years old that she will either
solve or die in the trying.
