Though he won't help himself out of his malaise, he will help a friend--or even a high-school classmate, Lambert "Lammy" Fleming, who's accused of molesting a neighborhood teenage girl. The mildly retarded Lammy is unable to defend himself--not good when the girl's dad is a low-rung mobster and her uncle is the local godfather. Foley figures Uncle Dominic is the guy with the taste for young girls, but to prove it, he must buck both the cops and the Mob.

Floyd investigates the death of a famous Chicago D.J. "Doo-Wop Polk was one of the first great black disc jockeys. From Chicago radio station WPTN, he captivated black America with his unique patter and his ear for the hippest rhythm and blues. He survived payola and Mob influence, but he didn't survive an apparent heart attack that left him on a slab at Denver General Hospital with bail bondsman C. J. Floyd's business card in his pocket. Convinced that their father was murdered, Polk's adult children hire Floyd to find the killer. As Floyd delves deeper into the case, he not only finds the ghosts of Polk's business past but also a family tree with one whole branch labeled "suspects." Floyd's second appearance portends good things for the series. He's tough,…

The little girl who finds the skull in an oak tree in a park near Chicago takes home a vital clue associated with "The Gold Bug." A second woman's bizarre murder has an obvious link to another Poe story. Elizabeth Taylor Hewitt, a special agent of the Illinois state police, enlists her ex-lover, Scott Gregory, who just happens to be a Poe expert, in decoding the cluesand becomes a potential victim of a mad but also resourceful serial killer known as the Raven..." --PW. 1st Edition.

"This impressive mystery debut grabs attention with its opening chapter and never lets up. With both a penchant for trouble and the ability to handle it, Vietnam vet Cooper MacLeish, after completing college on the GI Bill, is drifting through life as a Chicago cab driver. Reading of the apparent suicide of a woman he'd been in love with during his college years, he decides to attend her funeral. Although she hadn't returned his feelings, the two had shared one night of passion. A simple calculation suggests that Cooper might be the father of her teenage son.
