Pages : 231
Book Description
When Jante Turner is murdered just days before she takes the mantle as new dean of Rockefeller University Law School in Chicago, Royce Johnson is approached to help solve the murder. But Johnson doesn’t even have an investigator’s license, much less his old job with the FBI. In fact, he’s just been released from prison after serving a year-long sentence for his rogue investigation that led to the impeachment of a Supreme Court justice. Hero to some, a criminal to others, Johnson is hired by the new dean of Rockefeller Law to help clear his name from rumors swirling around the former dean’s unsolved murder. Soon, Johnson finds himself at the intersection of higher education, Chicago politics, big money, and murder. As he chases down leads across campus and the South Side, the disappearance of an environmental lawyer at the University takes the investigation in a surprising direction. Johnson traces a river of corruption running from deep-pocket donors of the University to North Side developers and a South Side alderman who is heir to the throne in City Hall. In his desperation, he turns to the one lawyer who can help him—the former Rockefeller student whom Johnson mistakenly framed for murder on his last case. Marcus Jones now practices law, and although the relationship is strained for good reason, they team up to catch Jante’s killer. Wounded and on the run—but able to connect dots that track from a toxic dump to environmental law to the pinnacle of the University—Johnson circles back to his client, the acting dean of Rockefeller Law, and explodes the man’s world by revealing the murderer.

Book Description
Getting a guy out of a bar should be a simple thing. Should be. But it’s Henry Malone and his well-armed A.A. sponsor Woody, so of course, things get complicated. Bar fight with bikers-level complicated. And things don’t get simpler afterwards, either. The man Henry and Woody rescue is soon accused of killing the leader of the motorcycle gang, and that leaves the gang hungry for revenge. Then there’s a sheriff’s deputy with something to prove, some Russian mobsters, the cargo of a hijacked semi that everyone wants, and the ghosts haunting Woody as he works to right the sins of his own mysterious past. Henry and Woody find themselves embroiled in a case that may change their lives—if they survive. LONG SYNOPSIS (with BLURBS) Getting a guy out of a bar should be a simple thing. Should be.

Henry and Woody find themselves embroiled in a case that may change their lives—if they survive. Praise for FRIEND OF THE DEVIL: “James D.F. Hannah has created a memorable, resilient hero in Henry Malone. The downtrodden investigator’s wry humor, complicated relationships, and aching vulnerabilities combine to create a classic character in crime fiction, and Friend of the Devil is a wonderful showcase for Hannah’s stellar writing. This is a terrific outing for one of crime fiction’s rising stars.” —E.A. Aymar, author of The Unrepentant and They’re Gone “Friend of the Devil is an engrossing tale with characters as dark and mysterious as a West Virginia coal mine. P.I. Henry Malone investigates with the heart of a lion and the wit of an ice pick. It’s his heart that gets Henry Malone in the most trouble—that’s just the kind of P.I. I can root for.” —Matt Goldman, New York Times bestselling author “Friend of the Devil is a blisteringly paced tour-de-force of the American underbelly, packed with crackling dialogue and pulse-pounding violence.” —Nick Kolakowski, author of Boise Longpig Hunting Club and Absolute Unit
