A fast, funny Thomas Prescott thriller filled with blackmail, buried secrets, and one very long night in Chicago.
Thomas Prescott has one job while visiting Chicago: don’t lose his sister’s dog.
Then Baxter crawls into the backpack of J.J. Watkins, an old friend from The Afrikaans who now performs stand-up at a local comedy club.
Turns out, J.J. has a problem of his own.
Someone has been blackmailing him over a private show for a group of Chicago commodities brokers. And now that someone has Baxter.
To get him back, Thomas and J.J. will have to follow the blackmailer’s increasingly dangerous demands across Chicago, from packed comedy clubs to the industrial backstreets of Goose Island to a mysterious boat waiting on Lake Michigan.
But the deeper Thomas digs, the more one thing becomes clear:
J.J. isn’t telling him the whole story.
Genre: Mystery
