High Chicago

After his successful debut, Buffalo Jump, Howard Shrier is back with High Chicago, the next in the Jonah Geller series.

Toronto investigator Jonah Geller has opened his own agency, World Repairs, and he and his partner, Jenn Raudsepp, are immediately drawn into investigating the apparent suicide of a young girl -- and the high-stakes world of construction and development on a long-neglected parcel of Toronto's waterfront. Clues lead them to suspect that fabled real estate tycoon Simon Birk -- the partner of the dead girl's father -- is killing people who get in the way of the project, but the evidence isn't rock solid. And Jonah has to craft an audacious plan to take down one of Chicago's most powerful men.
