Michael Raleigh's In the Castle of the Flynns is about a young boy growing up Irish in a vibrant 1950s Chicago neighborhood. Now grown and looking back on those...
Private investigator Paul Whelan works out of Chicago’s seamy, gritty Uptown, an immigrant neighborhood full of vagrants, runaways, and all too often, murder. Whelan is asked by an elderly woman to locate a runaway boy that she had once taken in. After inquiring from his sources, he finds out the boy was a runner for a burglary and car-theft ring, and three former members of that ring have been found murdered in the past month.
