Michael Kelly, who narrates the story, is a Chicago ex-cop turned private investigator in The Chicago Way by Michael Harvey. At page 1 you feel the style and character are reminiscent of Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe character. Kelly is contacted by his former partner to look into an 8 year old rape case but soon after his ex-partner is found dead on Navy Pier. The woman from the old case contacts Kelly and becomes his latest client. It seems that someone wanted that case buried years ago and isn't very happy that Kelly is snooping around. We are introduced to a DNA expert, former cops, a TV anchorwoman, a DA, cops on the Chicago force and a serial killer as Kelly works his way to solving the case. This is a faced paced suspense novel written by the creator and executive producer of the television show Cold Case Files that should be a hit with many readers. I hope this is the beginning of a new series.
