Ill Wind

Hard-hitting veteran reporter Deuce Mora is awakened in the predawn hours and called to the scene of a gruesome hanging to identify the body of a dear friend, an FBI agent on the verge of taking down one of Chicago’s biggest Mob operations. Deuce knows it’s murder, but the authorities have no choice but to call it a suicide—the scene was triple-locked from the inside.

The ill wind sweeping the Windy City has also whipped up two more unexplainable deaths—of perfectly healthy, able-bodied young mobsters, key witnesses about to flip on the leaders of the Mob operation. Neither the Chicago police nor the FBI can come up with a cause of death, but our meticulous investigator fits together a couple of impossible puzzle pieces. The downside is that the mob figures out who their greatest threat is, and Deuce becomes their new target.

Enter a Washington reporter who has been following the organized crime investigation for months at its source, in DC. He and Deuce share a dark secret and he knows exactly where to apply pressure on her demons to keep her on the trail of her friend’s murderers. But as the Windy City begins to look more and more like the Chicago of Al Capone days, with bodies turning up in the river and shootouts in public places, Deuce discovers she couldn’t walk away even if she wanted to. Whoever is at the top will stop at nothing to shut down this investigation.
