Description
When an anonymous caller summons Bill Habermann, P. I., to the scene of a murder, he is plunged into trouble up to his neck. It seems that the mob has hatched a plot to control Chicago s crucial water supply, and they aren't afraid to get rid of their critics. As the corpses pile up, Habermann is swept into the arms of a beautiful woman. Sharon Syracusa is the wife of one of the murder victims, who was also the son of a retired mob leader. But...can Sharon be trusted? Does she have evidence linking the mob to a billing scam, as she says she does? Or is she selling Habermann downriver? The second in the Suburban P.I. series, A Pale Rain is a classic noir thriller in the style of Ray Chandler and Dashiel Hammet, with countless twists and turns. A tightly-written, unpredictable, fast-paced mystery that explodes on page 1 and just keeps on running.
