Dead at the Wheel

Third in the Lora Cannan crime series. Just days before Christmas, Tyler Logue dies at the wheel of his 1970 cherry red Camaro. The cause of death: he was poisoned by the seeds of Abrus Precatorius, also known as the Rosary Pea plant. But this plant is only grown in sub-tropical regions of the world. Definitely not in Chicago in the dead of winter.
Homicide detective Lora Cannan catches the case and eventually learns that Logue had a penchant for rough sex and dangerous role play. A large pool of suspects emerges. Lora and her partner, Doug Pope find a connection between Top Shelf Escorts and the victim, but not is all as it appears.
