Publisher Description
It’s been two years since disgraced Illinois governor Ray Perry disappeared from a federal courthouse in Chicago moments after being sentenced to thirty-eight years in prison on corruption charges. P.I. Michael Kelly is sitting in his office when he gets an anonymous email offering to pay him nearly a quarter million dollars if he will find Perry. Kelly’s investigation begins with the woman Ray Perry left behind—his wife, Marie. Marie tells Kelly she has no idea where her husband is. Like everyone else, Kelly doesn’t believe her. As he hunts for her husband, Kelly begins to unwind Marie Perry’s past. Everyone in Chicago has secrets, including the governor’s wife. And some of them could get Michael Kelly killed.

“Narrator Stephen Hoye has become the preeminent voice of the Chicago private investigator Michael Kelly. Hoye has a distinct sound as he draws out his words to create a laid-back swagger for Kelly. The approach works perfectly for Kelly’s contemplative moments and even for his tough-guy encounters…and Hoye delivers convincing performances for all—whether NICU nurse, thug, ethnic police officer, or the governor’s wife…Hoye’s narration is engaging enough to keep listeners engrossed.”
