Real estate developer Doug Sutherland thinks it is just going to be another sweltering summer day in Chicago. But when the foreman demolishing his late father’s rundown office building discovers a skull and human bones encased in a crumbling Greek column, Sutherland is suddenly propelled into a cauldron of greed, sadism, and murder.
The
last thing Sutherland needs is bad publicity. When he learns the victim is
notorious alderman Danny Delaney, however, he realizes a fifteen-year-old
mystery is about to be solved and that now his deceased father is one of the
prime suspects. Then the murdered man’s notebook and videotapes suddenly
surface, and Sutherland discovers that his father had more secrets than he ever
realized. As he is relentlessly harassed for what he might know–endangering both
his life and his business—Sutherland must convince everyone that he knows
nothing. Unfortunately, no one believes him.
As a desperate Sutherland
collaborates with an ambitious reporter and his calculating sister in a pursuit
strewn with murder victims, he soon finds out that trusting the wrong person can
lead to dire consequences.Author:

McIntosh began writing mysteries and thrillers after a master's degree from the
University of Chicago and a successful real estate career. After an early
retirement he and his wife traveled and lived extensively in Mexico, South
America, Australia and Europe. Now they split their time between their homes in
Chicago and Key West, Florida. When he’s not writing, he enjoys running, scuba
diving, tennis, and world travel. This is his second mystery/thriller novel.
WHAT A GREAT BOOK!
Suspense novels are my favorite, the rush you get when you cannot read the page fast enough.
This book got my blood racing.
It takes you back 15yrs into a murder mystery, with many suspects. I really liked how the author pulled you into each and every one, you lived their triumphs as well as their fears.
As the story progressed, you think you
have it figured out, and WHAM!!!! Did not see that coming.
This was the first novel for my by
Gordon McIntosh and I cannot wait until I get another of his novels.
If you love Mystery Novels, get your
hands on this one, you won't regret it.
My only regret, with life so crazy, I literally had to find a place to hide in order to read!!!
If you have any time in your busy life, and love a good suspense...get this book!!
Thanks for stopping by,
