A Bad Nightβs Sleep
α’αααΈααααα βααΆααα‘ααααα
Michael Wileyβs third mysteryβfollowing The Bad Kitty Lounge and the Shamus-nominated The Last Striptease
Working late-night surveillance at a luxury condominium development in a city world-famous for corruption, Chicago private detective Joe Kozmarski encounters a burglary crew. Two of the crew members show up in a police cruiser. In the chaos that follows, Kozmarski shoots and kills a thief, who is also one of Chicagoβs finest. Kozmarski is in for many a bad nightβs sleep.
Kozmarski joins the criminal crew, working as an inside agent for his old friend Lieutenant Bill Gubman. Facing dangerous suspicions from both the criminal gang and the uncorrupted ranks of the police department, uncertain who wishes him to stay alive and who wishes him dead, Kozmarski takes a wild, dangerous ride.
In the high-end spa club for gentlemen and couples, during a showdown with a consortium of Chicago street gangs, and in a breakneck rooftop chase, A Bad Nightβs Sleep pushes full throttle to a stunning conclusion.
