It's dark underground. How would you catch a serial killer with
only your badge, your wits, and a shaky sense of right and wrong?
It's 1987, and a world before cellphones and DNA. Former Army
Ranger and Vietnam vet, divorced Danny Mangan is a Chicago cop
weary from fifteen years on the force. But he can't rest now he's
trailing a serial killer with a penchant for attacking
African-American prostitutes - a grim world of deception where
everyone has a public price and a private fix....
What follows when a member of Danny's own family is hunted by
the killer is excruciating. So will Danny's drug-loving daughter
Kelly and bisexual partner Lila help or complicate his work? The
Underground Detective is a modern fable, absorbing, imaginative and
terrifying. Here is polished crime writing, the dark sheen after
the rains have cleaned the streets of Chicago. A treat of human
foibles, weaknesses, attractions and heartbreak, where only love
and family are the saving grace....
