Midnight Choir - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Seattle, 1907. "The wickedest city in America." - McClure's Magazine. Honey Jack Gallagher serves as brass-knuckled enforcer for a family of tough Irish cops who maintain law and order in Seattle's wild "Restricted District" - for a price. Adrienne Cody fled her lumber-town upbringing in search of freedom. Which she finds, in gritty form, as an idealistic young visiting nurse. These two wholly different people share just one thing in common: Julie Moran, a glamorous prostitute with friends in too many places. And when Adrienne tries to help Julie's secret child, she lays bare a web of corruption and betrayal that starts a parade of bodies crossing the coroner's slab. With herself and the child as prime targets. A bruising, hard-boiled tale of romance and murder, "Midnight Choir" takes you back to the time when the real-life models for Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe walked the mean streets with brass knuckles in place of shining armor.
