Advance Praise

"An entertaining mystery with a good Old Hollywood feel, it’s reminiscent of James Ellroy’s LA Confidential—except, of course, it’s set in Chicago in the 1990s. The story jumps in time with the Hernandez family’s history and Louie’s shocking past before shifting to the employees about to meet their tragic end. It’s riddled with enoughsecrets in the past to complicate the present and accentuate the intrigue of the mystery all the more." - Independent Book Review
