Produktbeschreibung

Duncan Cochrane wanted to be governor... until the murder of his daughter.

"...a compelling picture of the Windy City when it was still in thrall to the mob and its own unique political machine." ~ Shots Magazine

When Duncan's daughter is murdered, he blames his own political ambitions. Still, his best shot at justice may be the bully pulpit of the campaign trail. He must win the election or accept that she has died in vain.

"It works as a whodunit, but it's Cochrane's story and political life that'll provide the fuel for this series." ~ Crime Thriller Hound

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the first book in the critically-acclaimed series detailing Duncan Cochrane's rise to prominence and the personal cost of his public ambitions.

Autorenporträt

Stories about crimes have always resonated with me, whether it was Crime and Punishment or The Quiet American. Maybe it's because I started my career as a police reporter, or because I worked for a time as a teacher in the county jail.

More than a decade ago, when I decided to finally get serious about writing, I started with short stories based on real misdeeds I'd witnessed. I wrote one about my next door neighbor, who'd been murdered by a friend, another about an ambitious bike racer who decides to take out the competition, and a bunch of others based on characters I met in jail.

Over time these got picked up by various magazines online and in print. More than a dozen now exist, with most of the latest in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine and Big Pulp.

For my debut novel, They Tell Me You Are Wicked, I drew inspiration from the most infamous event in the history of my hometown: the real life killing of a political candidate's daughter (though I made up all the details). Now I am at work on a second volume in the series, set two years later, after my hero, Duncan Cochrane, has become governor. He's haunted by the family secret that got him elected, and fighting a sniper who's targeting children in Chicago.
