Martin McDonough is a private detective whose investigations are usually successful because he knows how to get the low-down from his copper friends-a formula that works for a long time, but not forever. This noir mystery novel follows him from 1930s St. Paul, where a corrupt police force creates a haven for trigger-happy gangsters, to post-World War II San Francisco, where the jazz scene and the local mob uneasily coexist. In McDonough's world people are getting shot all time, but not by him... if he can help it. Trouble is, it's hard to be nice to the kind of rats he keeps running into.

Autorenporträt
Bruce Rubenstein has published hundreds of true crime stories in weeklies and monthly magazines. In 1991 he received the Chicago Bar Association's Herman Kogan Media Award for his Chicago Magazine article about the conviction of four Mexican immigrants for a quadruple homicide (dubbed "The Milwaukee Avenue Massacre" by the Sun Times) that they did not commit. They were serving the 12th year of their sentences of life without the possibility of parole when his article came out. As a result of his article, the governor of Illinois pardoned them. An anthology of his crime stories, titled Greed Rage and Love Gone Wrong, was published by the University of Minnesota Press in 2004. He won the Minnesota State Arts Council award for fiction in 1979 and published short stories in little magazines in the 70s and 80s. His story, "Smoke got in My Eyes," written for the Akashic Books' anthology Twin Cities Noir (2006), was nominated for the Shamus Award. His short fiction has recently appeared in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine. His book about a notorious art theft, titled The Rockwell Heist was published by Borealis Press in March 2013.
