*Shortlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger for Best Crime Novel of 2017*
Chicago, 1928. In the stifling summer heat three disturbing events
take place. A clique of city leaders is poisoned in a fancy hotel.
A white gangster is found mutilated in an alleyway in the Black
Belt. And a famous heiress vanishes without a trace. Pinkerton
detectives Michael Talbot and Ida Davis are hired to find the
missing heiress by the girl's troubled mother. But it proves harder
than expected to find a face that is known across the city, and Ida
must elicit the help of her friend Louis Armstrong. While the
police take little interest in the Black Belt murder, crime scene
photographer Jacob Russo can't get the dead man's image out of his
head, and so he embarks on his own investigation. And Dante
Sanfelippo - rum-runner and fixer - is back in Chicago on the
orders of Al Capone, who suspects there's a traitor in the ranks
and wants Dante to investigate. But Dante is struggling with
problems of his own as he is forced to return to the city he
thought he'd never see again . . . As the three parties edge closer
to the truth, their paths cross and their lives are threatened. But
will any of them find the answers they need in the capital of
blues, booze and corruption? Dead Man's Blues is the gripping
second installment in Ray Celestin's prize-winning City Blues
quartet. It is followed by the third book in the series, The
Mobster's Lament.
