Thriller
30 years ago a superhero tried to save Chicago. Now the
city is again under siege, in this gritty, suspenseful, and
beautifully written novel from award-winning debut author
T.J. Martinson Somewhere in Chicago, a roomful of people have been taken
hostage. The hostages will be killed one by one, the masked
gunman says on-screen, unless the police will admit that
they faked the death of the legendary superhero called the
Kingfisher and helped him to give up his defense of the city
thirty years ago. Retired reporter Marcus Waters made his name as a journalist
covering the enigmatic superhero’s five years of cleaning up
Chicago’s streets. Then the Kingfisher died, Chicago resumed
its violent turmoil, and Marcus slid back into obscurity. But did the Kingfisher really die? And who would take
hostages connected to the Kingfisher's past attempts to
clean up the streets? With the help of disgraced police
officer Lucinda Tillman and a young hacktivist named Wren,
Marcus will explore the city's violence, corruption, and
chaos to figure out if the vigilante hero died tragically,
or gave up hope and abandoned the city—and for the hostages,
the clock is ticking.
