Boneyards — Robert Campbell

Chicago's Mayor Richard Daley is dead and a new candidate is angling for easy votes-by hanging a bad cop out to dry. Someone's picked the scapegoat, and it's rogue police officer Ray Sharkey. His penetrating Irish blue eyes have seen it all-and the ruthless code that has connected him nearly to the top may bring him down. Now Detective Sharkey's got a murder to investigate, and other worries: a woman whose grievance goes back to his days as a lusty WW II hero, a hoodlum named Frankie Blue Shoes who's working the game both ways, and even his own on-the-side business partner.
