I saw the authors latest book get a good review in bookblogland and thought that I had better start at the beginning. Chicago private investigator Michael Kelly is hired to look into an eight year old rape and battery case, by an old colleague. Who then turns out dead, and others associated with the case keep turning up dead too.

Somehow Mr Kelly keeps turning up and finding murdered bodies, and gets invited along to crime scenes which seemed a bit implausible, but it helped with the flow of the story and it was on the whole a good tight detective novel, better than most I have read lately.
