<DIV><B>Just days from meeting the reaper, a convicted murderer hires Chicago&rsquo;s most hard-boiled PI to save his neck&mdash;before the executioner can claim it</B><BR /><BR />Robert Westland&rsquo;s death is just around the corner when he finally decides to fight the murder rap that&rsquo;s sending him to the electric chair. Fingered for his wife&rsquo;s grisly demise, Westland is in a bind, and his last hope is Bill Crane, a booze-soaked detective who&rsquo;s as ruthless with a quip as he is when trawling the streets for Chicago&rsquo;s most brutal criminal element.<BR />&#160;<BR />Crane&rsquo;s got just a few days to suss out the real killer&mdash;someone clever enough to off Westland&rsquo;s wife and lock her in a room whose only key belongs to Westland himself. Fueled by an abundance of liquor and a habit of bad manners, Crane sets his sights on a cast of oddball characters among whom hides a murderer. But in 1930s Chicago, everyone&rsquo;s got a secret, and the pressure is on for Crane to separate the dangerous from the truly homicidal before it&rsquo;s too late.<BR /></DIV>
