Dead Man’s Blues is the second thrilling installment of the City Blues series by Ray Celestin. At the heart of the novel lies 1928 Chicago, where three gruesome events unfold during the unbearable summer heatwave. A city closed circuit is poisoned in a luxury hotel, a white gangster is found decapitated in an alley of the Black Belt, and a famous heiress disappears without a trace. Pinkerton detectives, Michael Talbot and Ida Davis, are tasked with finding the missing heiress, whose mother is in despair. However, the search proves more difficult than expected. On the other hand, crime photographer Jacob Russo is haunted by the image of the dead man in the alley and begins his own investigation. Meanwhile, Dante Sanfelippo, Al Capone's secret agent, is in Chicago to track down a traitor. As the three protagonists get closer to the truth, their paths cross, and their lives are at risk. Will they manage to find the answers they seek in the capital of blues and corruption? A groundbreaking and fast-paced novel that keeps me in suspense until the last page.
