A Safe Place for Dying (Thomas Dunne Books)

A Safe Place for Dying (Thomas Dunne Books)

by JackFredrickson (Author)

Synopsis

An extortion letter arrives at Crystal Waters, one of Chicago's wealthiest gated communities. Shortly thereafter, a mansion blows up. The residents want answers fast before another zillion dollar residence turns to rubble. They hire former businessman Dek Elstrom. Ruined by scandal, Dek may be down, but thanks to his rather droll sense of humour, he is nowhere near out. A former Crystal Waters resident himself, Dek now lives in the primitive, pigeon-scented turret of a castle his grandfather never finished building. He still loves his ex-wife, and he wants to solve this case to redeem himself in her eyes. Sadly, he soon becomes the main suspect.

Media Reviews
Jack Fredrickson has created a marvelous investigator in Dek Elstrom . . . the spare, crackling dialogue reminded me of Robert B. Parker's early Spenser tales. A wildly satisfying ride. - Jeremiah Healy, author of Turnabout and The Only Good Lawyer
