A big-shouldered, big-trouble thriller set in mobbed-up 1920s
Chicago--a city where some people knew too much, and where everyone
should have known better--by the Oscar-nominated screenwriter of
The Untouchables and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of Glengarry
Glen Ross. Mike Hodge--veteran of the Great War, big shot of the
Chicago Tribune, medium fry--probably shouldn't have fallen in love
with Annie Walsh. Then, again, maybe the man who killed Annie Walsh
have known better than to trifle with Mike Hodge. In Chicago, David
Mamet has created a bracing, kaleidoscopic page-turner that roars
through the Windy City's underground on its way to a thunderclap of
a conclusion. Here is not only his first novel in more than two
decades, but the book he has been building to for his whole career.
Mixing some of his most brilliant fictional creations with actual
figures of the era, suffused with trademark Mamet Speak, richness
of voice, pace, and brio, and exploring--as no other writer
can--questions of honor, deceit, revenge, and devotion, Chicago is
that rarest of literary creations: a book that combines spectacular
elegance of craft with a kinetic wallop as fierce as the February
wind gusting off Lake Michigan.
