The third and final novella in the electrifying e-book-exclusive trilogy by R.J. Ellory, "the perfect author to read late into the night" (Clive Cussler) In Three Days in Chicagoland, his most ambitious effort yet, R.J. Ellory tackles the story of a brutal murder from three radically different perspectives. It's 1956, and though Chicago's gangland days are long over, it remains a city drenched in violence. Its latest victim is Carole Shaw, a young woman who had no enemies - except, that is, The Killer who strangled her to death and left her body on her kitchen's cold, linoleum floor. The Killer reveals the explosive solution to the many puzzles introduced in The Sister and The Cop, the first two novellas in this remarkable mini-epic. The Killer is narrated by Lewis Woodroffe, the man who is about to be executed for the savage murder of Carole Shaw. As he describes the broken home and broken dreams that led to that bloody night, Woodroffe pulls the rug out from under the reader and rewrites the story that we thought we knew. A stunning conclusion to Three Days in Chicagoland, The Killer will leave you breathless, and desperate to reread what has come before.
