In the mobchoked Chicago of 1932, private detective Nathan Heller may be willing to risk his life to earn a Depression dollar, but he never sacrifices his slicing wit. Thats why mystery fans and critics alike rank the historical thriller True Detective at the top of their lists and why the book swept up a Shamus Award for best novel from the Private Eye Writers of America.Now, author Max Allan Collins (Road to Perdition) reissues the contemporary classic that introduces the inscrutable, wisecracking Nathan Heller in all his guts and glory. Mayor Cermak aims to scrub up Chicagos rancid reputation for the Worlds Fair, and that daunting task comes down to the youngest plainclothes cop in town, Nathan Heller of the pickpocket detail.When the Mayors Hoodlum Squad brings Heller along on a raid with no instructions but to keep his mouth shut and his gun handy, he finds himself an unwitting, unwilling part of an assassination attempt on Al Capones successor, Frank Nitti. Soon, hes smack in the middle of a power struggle between the mob and the mayor, and its up to the young detective to upend a potentially nationshaking political assassination in Miami Beach. In Collins eruptive and evocative largelandscape historical thriller, readers consort with the likes of Dutch Reagan, George Raft, and FDR himself, as the author weaves the intricate history of the Chicagos Century of Progress with a classic noir mystery. Rich in riveting plot turns, including a beautiful female client and a heartbreaking romance, True Detective is one of the most highly entertaining and unlikely comingofage stories ever written.
