In the latest installment in Michael Harveys beloved Michael Kelly series, Chicagos favorite Ovid-reading, gun-toting private investigator takes on Illinoiss first family in a blistering thriller that charts the border where ambition ends and evil begins. Its been two years since disgraced Illinois governor Ray Perry disappeared from a federal courthouse in Chicago moments after being sentenced to thirty-seven years in prison on corruption charges. P.I. Michael Kelly is sitting in his office when he gets an anonymous e-mail offering to pay him nearly a quarter of a million dollars if he will find Perry, no questions asked. Kellys investigation begins with the woman Ray Perry left behind—his wife, Marie. Ostracized by her former friends and hounded by the feds, Marie tells Kelly she has no idea where her husband is.
