"... set in rural England, a decent, frustrated man meets a dynamic stranger who embodies the explosive force of his pent-up rage. Derek Cartwright and Hugh Packer share a similar dilemma: both are saddled with elderly in-laws whose presence seems to be ruining their lives. Sadistic bully Packer wants his father-in-law out of the way so he can acquire the old man's fortune. Cartwright, on the other hand, convinces himself that his motive is altruistic: he wants to free his wife from the burden of caring for her mother, a task she assumed in expiation for her guilty sense of relief when the couple's handicapped daughter died. Packer quickly realizes the possibilities and involves Cartwright--against his will--in a murderous plot in which each will kill the other's resident in-law. When Inspector…

Third book in the Paul Whelan series of mysteries set in Chicago. Chicago private eye Paul Whelan is looking for some much-needed cash, when a cagey lawyer hires him to find a missing person.

Brown, asks Whelan to look into the murder.

In his fourth case, Whelan is hired to find a missing teenager by an elderly woman who let him live in her house after his parents died. Tony Blanchard stayed with Mrs. Pritchett for about six months and then took to the streets when he started hanging out with the wrong crowd. Now some of the petty thieves Tony took up with have been murdered, and she fears for his life. The case takes Whelan into the streets where he finds himself in the middle of an old southern blood feud that puts him at risk but doesn't seem to bring him closer to Tony. This…
