A man who was serving time for a drunken driving homicide of someone in Taylor's family is released from jail and soon after is murdered. Taylor is questioned and feels that if he can find the killer, he'll be free of police scrutiny. Along the way he becomes involved in Minnesota politics and a woman running for the governor's office. This is a fast action novel that was entertaining. I enjoyed Taylor but felt that the conclusion could have been stronger. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Edgar Award Winner: A PI in St. Paul, Minnesota, must clear his own name when the drunk driver who killed his wife is shot dead. Holland Taylor is comfortable in interrogation rooms. For years, the cold dark cells of the Minneapolis homicide squad were his turf, and with the help of his partner, he wrung confessions out of countless killers. But that was long ago. Tonight Taylor's on the other side of the desk. Tonight he's the suspect. Taylor's career in the department ended after his wife and daughter were killed in a drunk driving accident. The culprit, John Brown, was sentenced to a measly six years for vehicular manslaughter, and Taylor vowed bloody vengeance in front of open court. After a few months of freedom, Brown is shot dead, and Taylor, now a private investigator, is called in as the obvious suspect. He didn't kill John Brown, but he'll find out who did--even if it means tearing Minneapolis apart from the inside out. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

He's sucked into the investigation by his former partner, Anne Scalesi, now a lieutenant in the St. Paul Homicide unit and he’s thrown into the midst of the campaign of C.C. Munro who might become the first female governor of Minnesota. As the dead bodies pile up and connections appear, Taylor has some serious navigating to do through the swamp.
It has cynicism, a nifty plot, and humor. Can’t ask for more than that.
P.S. He has a pet rabbit. named Ogilvy.
An excellent P.I. story. I will definitely read more. ( )
