Chicago homicide detectives Mark Bergman and John Dunegan investigate the murder of a well-known painter and uncover a seven-year-long trail of extremely talented corpses. Their hunt for a slippery serial killer is complicated by interference from their superiors, and the FBI, and a ruthless City Hall fixer, and a brutal Mob boss. Because this is a story about how Chicago works, and the marketing of fine art.
