Why would an alcoholic Chicago homicide detective question the
motives of a drummer from a freshly signed rock-blues band? Why
does he keep interviewing an elderly widower with dementia? What
are an identity-concealing stripper, a bisexual kleptomaniac, a
suicidal hot dog cart vendor, a Catholic priest, a well-traveled
bluesman with the world's most horrific stutter, and a leggy
bartender with a crescent-shaped scar on her pretty face hiding
from him? These are the people Detective Carter Woodbine must drink
in to solve the mystery in Mrs. O'Leary's Cow. The gumshoe searches
for answers at an Irish pub where he sifts through the grit of its
patrons and occasionally finding flecks of gold. Among his digging
for truths, he unearths enigmas buried deeply within the soil of
these people of interest, and even some of his own. But will all
the digging and dirt lead to somewhere other than his own grave?
Mrs. O'Leary's Cow is much more than a detective quest; it's a
reflection of the great city of Chicago and its people during the
two days leading up to Christmas.
