Publisher Description
Introducing maverick Chicago private investigator Sam Kelson in the first of a hardhitting new crime noir series.
Sam Kelson is a PI like no other. As a consequence of being shot in the head while working undercover as a Chicago cop, he suffers from disinhibition: he cannot keep silent or tell lies when questioned. But truth be told ― and Kelson always tells the truth ― he still feels compelled to investigate and, despite the odds, he’s good at his job.
Hired by Trina Felbanks to investigate her pharmacist brother whom she suspects is dealing drugs, Kelson arrives at Felbanks’ home to make a shocking discovery ― his client’s brother has been murdered. Arrested on suspicion of his murder, Kelson makes an even more startling discovery concerning his client’s identity. Kelson would appear to have been set up … but by whom, and why?
As events spiral out of control and the body count rises, Kelson realizes he’s made a dangerously powerful enemy. Will he survive long enough to discover who has targeted him ― and what it is they want?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This solid series launch from Wiley (the Daniel Turner series) introduces Sam Kelson, who was an undercover cop in Chicago until a bullet wound to the head in the line of duty left him with two unusual brain conditions: disinhibition, causing Kelson to speak his mind without hesitation, and autopagnosia, making him unable to recognize himself in a mirror. Two years later, Kelson is off the force, divorced, and struggling to support himself as a PI. His life becomes even more challenging after an attractive woman, Trina Felbanks, approaches him for help with her pharmacist brother, Christian, who's been illegally selling prescription drugs to his friends. Despite Kelson admitting that he's incapable of discretion, Trina retains him. After Kelson fails to find Christian at his pharmacy, he goes to his quarry's apartment, only to find the man dead of a gunshot wound. Moments later, a Chicago PD team arrives and arrests Kelson for the murder. Once freed, Kelson must solve the crime to save his own skin. Wiley keeps the twists coming. Fans of differently abled detectives will look forward to the sequel.
