Dateline Chicago, 1946: Policy, the illegal lottery, makes millions
of dollars for racketeers in Chicago’s black community. But the
numbers don’t add up when kingpin Ed Jones is kidnapped. Who
grabbed him? The mob? Another policy wheel operator? And why?
 Gus Carson, World War II veteran, a survivor of the sinking
of his ship in the Pacific. A Chicago cop, he’s suspended for a
late night shooting at a brothel. Enter wealthy politico Arvis
Hypoole. He hires Gus to find Jones. The caveat: He’s got one
week to do it. The challenge: Everyone’s looking for Jones and
most don’t want to find him alive.  Author Steve Monroe
offers another slice of underworld life told through fact-based
fiction. And his protagonist, Carson, is the conduit to the
intrigue. Haunted and violent, he staves off pressure with a
wisecrack or a hard cross to the jaw. He navigates through a world
of gambling, nightlife, shady politics and murder, all the while
seeking much more than the kidnapping victim. He’s seeking
redemption. And there is only one time and one city in which he can
find it: ’46, Chicago.
