How do you solve a murder nobody wants solved and catch a killer nobody wants caught?When a woman with explosive secrets is murdered, City Hall orders a cover up. But fired TV reporter Reno McCarthy has never been politically correct. Reno's out for justice and he won't back off-even if it means a showdown with a brutal manipulator intent on turning Chicago into a branch office of the Russian mob. Reno's city is on the verge of a 21st Century mob war; one that will make the Roaring Twenties seem like a cap gun fight. It's summer in Chicago. It's supposed to be cooler by the lake. Not this summer.

Vic Terry hates winter. It sinks its sharp teeth right to his bones. The worst is being on patrol in the winter. His partner, Mike Fromme, complains that the squad is too warm but what does he know? It's damn cold...just like the night Vic's former partner died.
