Book Overview

"Beautifully rendered . . . Kaminsky is extraordinarily attuned to the domestic minutiae of his detectives' lives." The New York Times Book Review Aging Chicago cop Abe Lieberman's day begins with a predawn phone call: his nephew, David, has been killed in a mugging, and David's wife is seriously wounded. From there it's all downhill for Lieberman, as a day of terrifying confrontations with duty and desire unfolds, shocking the cop who thought he'd...

A murder is never as simple as you think it is

This book is occurs over a single 24 hour period of a day in cold wintry Chicago (no Jack Bauer does not make an appearance, but then neither does his daughter). It begins with a robbery gone wrong and the shooting of Abe's pregnant niece and the death of his brother Moishe's son David. At the same time, Frankie, the crazed Jesus freak, who Father Murphy and the Rabbi put on a bus out of town, is back and looking for blood. We spend the day with Abe and Hanrahan, looking over their shoulders as they do their best to find the perps. APBs are sent out (which tracks down one of the killers in a hospital in LaGrange) and Lieberman calls in a favor from his favorite mexican/chicano criminal "El Piero". We also follow Frankie as he looks for his wife and daughter who happen to be staying with Father Murphy. Blah, blah, blah, bang bang bang, yeeeeeee splat, bang bang bang bang bang uh bang. One perp is found in the hospital, another jumps off a building and Frankie is shot by Hanrahan five or six times. All things end well, uh sort of, but I won't give away the twists and turns. A great addition to the series.

Lieberman's a Love!

I've just discovered Kaminsky and I must say Leiberman and Hanrahan just walked right off the pages. All of Kaminsky's characters are truly "characters". No vapid plots or dialogue either. Just the right mix of suspense, humor, cop-speak and life at the dinner table. Highly memorable...Leiberman's the Jewish grandfather I never had and never knew I wanted.
