Gorman\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA scream in the predawn hours sends Chicago police to a grisly scene in tony Old Town. The lifeless body of a young law school student lies sprawled across the front seat of her Jaguar, an icepick sticking in her neck. Veteran CPD homicide detective Mike Halloran has made a career solving \"heater\" cases, but finding who killed the daughter of the State's Attorney puts him under a microscope of the top police brass. When a series of frustrating leads fizzle, a long-forgotten letter from a prison inmate is discovered that points to a prime suspect. But as Halloran and his partner, Syl Ortiz, try to arrest the suspect, a pulsating chase leads to a dramatic shootout. With his partner suffering from a life-threatening chest wound, Halloran has to choose between saving his wounded partner or chasing the gunman. After Eric Peterson eludes a police dragnet, Halloran stews for weeks about the escape until the State's Attorney funds Halloran in an off-the-books pursuit that leads Halloran from the gritty streets of Chicago to a scenic hill station in the foothills of the Himalayas. There, Halloran lures Peterson into a trap that brings him back to face justice in a climactic showdown in the Criminal Courts building on Chicago's West Side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 252\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.53 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 15, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47438440530098,"sku":"9781949661880","price":24.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/e001b13d721b2367029b6eeb02168eda.webp?v=1778661152","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/death-before-life-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
