A crisp, October evening in 1974: As an attractive Polish immigrant walks the deserted streets of Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood, she’s filled with hope about her future. In a few hours she’s found murdered in a gangway.
It’s a crime the police pursue without much interest, but for private detective Joey Boloccini it represents a chance to break the monotony of his fledgling career and achieve the success that’s eluded him.
At the heart of the mystery is the Pilsudski family – Anton, Mamie, Walter and Marek – known as The Coffin Haulers for the humiliating, low-paying job they perform. Yet no one is aware, especially the police, of how wealthy they are. The Pilsudskis have a family secret: It’s not hauling coffins that bring in money, but what’s inside them.
My second novel has just been published. It's available on Amazon and and can be found here:
