In the heart of Chicago, where shadows conceal secrets and organized crime reigns, one retiree embarks on an extraordinary journey.
David Blazen spent 50 years comfortable in his work routine but now is retired and desperately searching for purpose in his life.
He ultimately finds it in the most unlikely of ways: by becoming a self-proclaimed detective.
Travel through a labyrinth of adventure in this award-winning novel, where suspense lurks around every corner and laugh-out-loud moments break through the tension. Follow along as David's search for truth and justice gets him caught in a web of contentious cases, all within his first week on the job.
The most puzzling? A murder he witnessed that police are calling a suicide.
Will his investigation help identify the killer? It's up to this amateur sleuth to solve that mystery, prevent a budding turf war between Chicago's two dirtiest crime lords, keep a corrupt candidate out of the mayor's office, and bring peace to a city rattled by crime and violence.
The problem is, to succeed, he must become a criminal himself.

We're all searching for purpose and fulfillment in our lives, and this crime fiction adventure is both heartwarming and inspiring, An action-packed and surprisingly poignant yarn about a man's search for himself as he enters his golden years. - Kirkus Reviews
