The lifeless body of a young law school student lies sprawled across the front seat of her Jaguar, an icepick sticking in her neck. Veteran CPD homicide detective Mike Halloran has made a career solving heater cases, but finding who killed the daughter of the State''s Attorney puts him under a microscope of the top police brass.  When a series of frustrating leads fizzle, a long-forgotten letter from a prison inmate is discovered that points to a prime suspect. But as Halloran and his partner, Syl Ortiz, try to arrest the suspect, a pulsating chase leads to a dramatic shootout. With his partner suffering from a life-threatening chest wound, Halloran has to choose between saving his wounded partner or chasing the gunman.  After Eric Peterson eludes a police dragnet, Halloran stews for weeks about the escape until the State''s Attorney funds Halloran in an off-the-books pursuit that leads Halloran from the gritty streets of Chicago to a scenic hill station in the foothills of the Himalayas. There, Halloran lures Peterson into a trap that brings him back to face justice in a climactic showdown in the Criminal Courts building on Chicago''s West Side.","brand":"Gorman Media Strategies LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52085840347479,"sku":"9781949661880","price":16.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781949661880.jpg?v=1762211106","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/death-before-life-9781949661880","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
