Clear a space on the shelf beside these masters. Jack Howland has written a superb novel that sits right alongside those maestros.\"\u003cbr\u003eKen Bruen, Shamus-Award-winning author of The Guards and Killing the Tinkers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJust before Christmas, police answer a murder call from the Connolly Village projects, a.k.a. \"Conville.\" The victim is unidentifiable, naked, bound, and set afire. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWorking in his breakneck style, Detective Tom Rinne has a witness and suspect before anyone expects. When he identifies the victim, however, he reopens the case of a beautiful girl who vanished last summer - a girl with connections to the most powerful men in the city. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs Rinne dives back into the case, it's only a minor political firestorm. When a young black suspect is shot, however, it spirals into a race war. Rinne finds himself first a scapegoat, then a suspect, then a fugitive. One woman can save him or sell him down the river - the only woman he ever loved. One simple device - the girl's phone - can unravel the truth and expose secrets Rinne himself might prefer to keep hidden.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Howland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1976379881\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781976379888\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.77d","brand":"Jack Howland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49165994295551,"sku":"9781976379888","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/machine-city-jack-howland-9781976379888","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
