Produktbeschreibung
In the heart of Chicago, where shadows conceal secrets and organized crime reigns, one retiree embarks on an extraordinary journey. David Blazen spent 50 years comfortable in his work routine but now is retired and desperately searching for purpose in his life. He ultimately finds it in the most unlikely of ways: by becoming a self-proclaimed detective. Travel through a labyrinth of adventure in this award-winning novel, where suspense lurks around every corner and laugh-out-loud moments break through the tension. Follow along as David's search for truth and justice gets him caught in a web of contentious cases, all within his first week on the job. The most puzzling? A murder he witnessed that police are calling a suicide. Will his investigation help identify the killer? It's up to this amateur sleuth to solve that mystery, prevent a budding turf war between Chicago's two dirtiest crime lords, keep a corrupt candidate out of the mayor's office, and bring peace to a city rattled by crime and violence. The problem is, to succeed, he must become a criminal himself. All net proceeds from this book will be donated to non-profit organizations benefitting senior veterans. "We're all searching for purpose and fulfillment in our lives, and this crime fiction adventure is both heartwarming and inspiring, An action-packed and surprisingly poignant yarn about a man's search for himself as he enters his golden years." - Kirkus Reviews 2023 BookFest Awards Winner: 1st Place in Cozy Detective and 2nd Place in Amateur Sleuth

Autorenporträt
David Marks was appointed Professor of Hematology and Stem Cell Transplantation at the University of Bristol in 2007 and was previously director of the Bristol Bone Marrow Transplantation Unit in 2003. David brings both an outsider's perspective on the NHS as an Australian who spent his early life, including medical training, in Australia and later worked for three years in Philadelphia, and an insider's perspective as a distinguished professor firmly embedded in the medical establishment, having lived in the UK for over three decades. His clinical practice and research focus on stem cell transplantation and the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). He is a world authority in cellular therapy for adult ALL but is also deeply interested in patient welfare, a major preoccupation of Life Blood. He has been a writer his whole professional life, but this is the first book he has written for a general, non-medical audience.
