Ferociously paced, sharply plotted and with all the moral complexity of an early Michael Connelly, The Chicago Way marks the debut of an exciting new thriller writer in Michael Harvey. James Edwards, Chicago ex-cop turned P.I., is hired by his former partner to help solve a rape and battery case. A case that has been open for eight years, because his partner was paid to keep it that way. The next day, his partner is murdered, shot to death under a bridge. And Edwards is being framed as his killer.
