Bury It Deep — Sam Reaves

Vietnam vet, Chicago cabbie and sometime investigator Cooper MacLeish is always willing to help out a good friend - which is why he agrees to accompany third-rate newshound Melvin Moreland to a midnight meet with a nervous informant. But it isn't information they find spread out on the floor of a city-owned garage, but the skewered remains of the unfortunate whistleblower. Suddenly, Coop's altruism has landed him neck-deep in the middle of a scandalous conspiracy as wide and murky as Lake Michigan itself - a dangerous mess of dirty little secrets, mob double-dealings and bloody political hands that could drag down the high and mighty...if they don't strangle MacLeish first.
