Tilhører serienJimmy Flannery (11)
With the blessing of convicted congressman Leo Lundatos (since when did a little thing like a conviction hamper a Chicago politician?), Jimmy Flannery is poised to take over the famous Tenth, or Mayor's Ward. Jimmy has his doubts about this quick move up the political ladder -- especially as it seems to bring new friends and old enemies out of the woodwork -- but his friends, family, and old network of supporters cheer him on. Flannery's particularly nervous about Maggie Lundatos -- Leo's alluring soon-to-be ex-wife -- who may or may not be scheming to lure Jimmy into her luxurious bed.At the same time, Jimmy is fighting a well-organized right-winger's plan to ban "offensive" fiction from the Chicago public schools. When someone takes a shot at Jimmy from a moving auto in the wee hours of the morning -- a shot that slays his political ally and friend Mabel Halstead -- is it an old enemy or a new one? Jimmy's search for Mabel's killer, in the midst of the rough-and-tumble of a Windy City political campaign, yields some surprising results. Ingen biblioteksbeskrivelser fundet. |

This is probably not the best chapter to begin the series as it is light on mystery and focuses mainly on politics and conniving and influence. It also refers quite a bit to the previous book in the series, Lion's Share, and it is almost a sequel to that one.
It is peopled with street thugs, transgender ex-cops, book banners, sexy political ladies, and more, and, of course, a murder. It is perhaps all part of the changing world Flannery finds himself in and in which some folks are not quite comfortable with yet. ( )
