Robert Campbell

0/5 ( ratings)

CHICAGO'S MAYOR IS DEAD, political clout is up for grabs, and a new candidate is angling for easy votes. . .by hanging a bad cop on a tree. From City Hall to the hookers' stroll, the word is out: someone's picked the scapegoat, and it's Ray Starkey.
BONEYARDS is Robert Campbell's gripping portrait of this rogue police officer whose own ruthless code may bring him down.
With his penetrating Irish blue eyes Sergeant Starkey has seen it all, before and after the day he stopped paying for his own beers and shots. In the small half-world of cops and criminals. . .and among the aldermen, commissioners, clergy, and judges. . .he's got connections nearly to the top. He started on the take to cover his daughter's medical bills, though he'd long ago been warned: "Bad cops don't start out running a string of whores or taking contracts on somebody's life. They all start out with a nickel heist."
Detective Sharkey's got a murder to investigate on one hand, and a reputation crumbling on the other; a dying wife upstate, and a too-innocent partner in his unmarked car, He has associations some people might call illegitimate and reasons to worry: about a woman with a grievance that goes back to his days as a lusty war hero, about a hoodlum named Frankie Blue Shoes who's working the game both ways, and even about his on-the-side business partner.
The politicians' brooms are poised for the sweep, but their silver-tongued quarry has more than smiles and Irish honey-cake on his lips, and more up his sleeve than his arm.
