Chicago, 1946. A celebrated nightclub singer is found murdered-and the secrets she leaves behind could destroy some of the most powerful people in the city.
The Lido Club survived Prohibition by learning that information could be more valuable than liquor. Behind its music, polished tables, and fashionable crowds lies another world: concealed passages, private meetings, political favors, old debts, and an archive of secrets collected over decades.
The woman known as Canary understood that world better than anyone.
When she is found dead in her dressing room, Detective Paul Drake begins with an apparently simple question: who wanted her silenced?
Then Charlie Chan joins the investigation.
A missing locket. Torn pages from a private journal. A mysterious brooch. A secret room hidden inside the Lido. Financial records that powerful men insist do not exist. And evidence that someone moved through the club's old Prohibition tunnels after Canary was already dead.
Every suspect is hiding something.
A prominent businessman fears financial ruin. A lawyer has reasons to keep old arrangements buried. The club manager knows more about Canary's private records than he admits. And the wife of Chicago's mayor has discovered that Canary possessed secrets reaching into the most painful part of her past.
But Charlie begins to notice something the others have missed.
The clues do not describe one sequence of events.
They describe two.
As the investigation reaches deeper into the Lido's past, Charlie must separate murder from deception, guilt from fear, and the person who wanted Canary dead from the person determined to control what she left behind.
Set against the nightclubs, political machinery, and lingering underworld connections of postwar Chicago, Charlie Chan: The Case of the Chicago Murder is a classic screen-style mystery of blackmail, hidden evidence, false suspects, and carefully planted clues-where almost everyone has a secret, but only Charlie Chan can determine which secret led to murder.
