Michael Harvey Thrillers 2-Book Bundle: The Chicago Way, The Fifth Floor

by Michael Harvey

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.

Liked both books. Like this author so well I have started reading another one of his. That is what I tend to do when I find an author I like.
