Book Description
Here are his first two explosive neo-noir thrillers, The Chicago Way and The Fifth Floor, together in one eBook, with a bonus excerpt from We All Fall Down, the latest installment, due out in hardcover in summer 2011. See why Michael Harvey’s tough-talking, ex-cop-turned- private investigator Michael Kelly has been called Chicago’s answer to Raymond Chandler. The Chicago Way: PI Michael Kelly—usually persona non grata with law enforcement—is hired by his former partner, John Gibbons, to look into the rape and battery case John was instructed to leave open eight years earlier. The very next day, Kelly finds Gibbons dead. To close both cases, Kelly will have to face the mob, a serial killer, and something rotten behind police lines. The Fifth Floor: When PI Kelly is hired by an girlfriend to trail an abusive husband, he doesn’t expect to stumble across a corpse—and perhaps the answer to one of Chicago’s most enduring mysteries. The ensuing investigation takes Kelly to places he’d rather not go, specifically to City Hall, where he gets embroiled in a scam that stretches from current politics back to the night of Chicago’s Great Fire, to face a killer bent on rewriting history.

It's been two years since disgraced Illinois governor Ray Perry disappeared from a federal courthouse in Chicago moments after being sentenced to thirty-eight years in prison on corruption charges. PI Michael Kelly is sitting in his office when he gets an anonymous email offering to pay him nearly a quarter million dollars if he will find Perry, no questions asked. Kelly's investigation begins with the woman Ray Perry left behind – his wife, Marie. Ostracized by her former friends and hounded by the feds, Marie tells Kelly she has no idea where her husband is. Like everyone else, Kelly doesn't believe her. As he hunts for her husband, Kelly begins to unwind Marie Perry's past. What he finds is a woman who turns out to be even more intriguing than her husband, with her own deeply complicated reasons for standing by him. Everyone in Chicago has secrets, including the governor's wife. Some of them she shared with her husband. Some of them she kept to herself. And some of them could get Michael Kelly killed. The Governor's Wife is a hard-eyed look at the intersection of the political and the personal, at the perils of trusting even those closest to us and the collateral damage of our highest aspirations. This is stylish, knock-out suspense from a modern master.
