β¦ Synopsis
"The mystery fiction that Sara Paretsky fashions from Chicago's South Side is fully matched in Raleigh's gritty North Side tales" (Publishers Weekly).
Margaret O'Mara's brother disappeared decades ago. But now that his last known associate has just been found dead, O'Mara hires PI Paul Whelan to investigate.
Whelan makes the rounds through seedy bars and dilapidated apartment buildings, discovering connections to a long-gone Chicago amusement park that was once the site of another murder. Soon, Whelan is navigating his way through dark pasts, deep secrets, and a mystery that may cost him his life.
"What makes this riveting private-eye yarn work is a mixture of superior Chicago atmosphere, with the ghost of the legendary Riverview amusement park lurking in the shadows; great dialogue; and compassionately drawn characters." βBooklist
