Ever since Chicago ex-cop Kubiak opted for early retirement from a quiet career in Latent Prints, he has been finding himself reluctantly embroiled in mysteries that inevitably bring him back to where he started: into confrontation with the same Chicago Police Department of which he was once a member.

This time, third-rate burglar Baumgarten wants to hire Kubiak to investigate a suspicious suicide that occurred upstate, which Baumgarten claims was actually a homicide committed by members of the Lake County Sheriff's Department. Kubiak is determined not become involved until, hours later, Baumgarten turns up bludgeoned to death in the passenger seat of a truck belonging to Kubiak's son-in-law.

Kubiak tries to uncover the connection between the two only to discover that the young man has gone into hiding ... and he has taken Kubiak's daughter with him.

Determined to find his daughter and clear his son-in-law's name, he must find the couple before the police do.

Review

'[Lindley] makes a fantastic hardcover debut with this first novel.' --Library Journal, January 2007 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Booklist

Kubiak, a retired Chicago police officer, turns down former burglar Paul Baumgarten's request that he investigate a suspicious suicide. Jack Mackay supposedly killed the elderly couple who took him in and gave him a job, then turned the gun on himself after a high-speed chase with the Lake County sheriff's department. Baumgarten maintains corrupt sheriff's department employees killed Mackay. When Baumgarten is found dead in a truck belonging to Kubiak's son-in-law, David Hollinger, Kubiak has a change of heart and decides to investigate both incidents, hoping to protect his daughter and clear Hollinger, who is the leading suspect in the murder. Kubiak is not above a little breaking and entering if necessary, and his sarcastic, wise-guy attitude doesn't endear him to other law-enforcement officials. Lindley has a nice feel for Chicago and the suburb of Round Lake, where much of the action takes place, and he tells a gritty, fast-paced story with a well-developed, if not entirely likable, main character.

I thought the plot was very strange. I had a hard time following it, and I think the characters in it also had a hard time
figuring out what they were all doing.
