This is a new ebook edition of a mystery first published in hardcover by Pocket Books in 1991.
When a high-and-mighty police chief asks Jimmy Flannery to help investigate the mysterious death of a man who remains unidentified at the morgue, Jimmy runs up against some Chicago big boys — and an underworld warlord …
Well, it finally happened. Old Chips Devlin made me committeeman for the Twenty-seventh ward. I'm the warlord now. What with the celebration and all, my diet's shot to hell. Which is why I was sweating it out at the Paradise Health Club with Shimmy Dugan and Princess Grace — a black man of the gay persuasion which don't mean he ain't tough as a marine drill instructor when it comes to making you do the deep knee bends and duck waddles — when Mr. P. Pig met his maker.
Nobody knows his name. He's on a trial membership and renews weekly under the name P. Pig. All I know is he seems to take exercise very seriously and smiles a lot. For a man with an olive complexion, he had very blue eyes. But the man who smiles all the time ain't smiling now. He's lying on the floor like a beached baby whale — dead.
Why is his coroner file closed? Why have the cops suddenly shifted gears? Somebody with clout wants Mr. Porky's identity kept quiet. But how far are they willing to go to stop my snooping? Chip's old pal, the big boss Vito Vellitri, finally puts it to me point blank: "This is a family. You understand that there is law and then there's justice … ." Yeah. And I got thirty pieces of silver and what I saw in a Pig's eye that won't let me stop until I dig up the truth …
