Book blurb: A woman is shot as she waits for her train to work. An hour later, a second woman is gunned down as she rides an elevated train through the Loop. Two hours after that, a church becomes the target of a chemical weapons attack. The city of Chicago is under siege.
Michael Kelly is initially drawn into the case by the killers themselves, then tasked by Chicago's mayor and the FBI to hunt down the bad guys and, all things being equal, put a bullet in them. Kelly, of course, has other ideas.
As he gets nearer to the truth, Kelly's instincts lead him to a retired cop, a shady train company, and an unnerving link to his own past.
Meanwhile, Kelly's girlfriend, Rachel Swenson, becomes a pawn in a much larger game - as a weapon that could kill millions ticks away quietly in the very belly of the city...
The Third Rail (published in hardcover on April 2010) is stylish, sophisticated, edge-of-your-seat suspense from a new modern master.
The trailer as you have not seen it before:
If you enjoyed this one, the next and latest book in the Irish cop turned Chicago PI Michael Kelly series, We All Fall Down (12 July 2011), is available now to devour. This is an outstanding series by a talented and savvy writer who just knows how to spin a good yarn and stir up the water. Michael Harvey has just bagged himself a new fan! I look forward to more...
