I always have a different book on my purse Kindle because often I can't pull the one from my other Kindle.
This one is so timely that I jumped right into it; sometimes books sit on my Kindle for a long time before I get into them
Anyway, here are the publisher's notes
Smokey Dalton takes on the dangerous world of back-street abortionists in pre-Roe Chicago.
After attending a charity fundraiser, private investigator Smokey Dalton and his powerful girlfriend discover a critically injured woman in his neighbor’s apartment, and his neighbor missing. Smokey gets the woman to a nearby hospital which proves to be a mistake: the doctor won’t treat the dying woman until she tells him what happened to her. Smokey works to save the woman and find his neighbor, but everything he does makes the situation worse.
Smokey has entered a secret part of America—the arcane rules of a hospital trying to follow the law as well as save lives. None of it makes sense, and all of it threatens everything Smokey believes in.
Everything is happening in 1969.
“Without the slightest hint of preaching, Nelscott brilliantly illuminates the ugliness of that era-which defines Smokey’s world but does not destroy him. Because of Nelscott’s strong hand, it also does not overwhelm the drama of this remarkable story. “
I am in the middle of this right now; it is a good read. Smokey Dalton is a very interesting character and now I want to read the whole series. This is book 4
can be read as a standalone.
