Murder in Portland

Description

A Mobster's Redemption: The Shadows of Chicago Al De Duco has traded the turbulent alleys of Chicago for the serene streets of Seattle, leaving behind a notorious life in the mob for the calm embrace of love and legitimacy. As a private investigator, he might not always play by the book, but his heart is in the right place. With an adoring wife by his side and the weight of his malevolent past behind him, life has never seemed so bright. Yet, shadows have a way of creeping in, especially when they're cast by old acquaintances. A haunting call from a friend trapped in the gritty underbelly of crime thrusts Al back into the world he had so desperately tried to leave. Torn between loyalty and his newfound peace, Al is confronted with the chilling realization that escaping one's past isn't always a clean break. As tensions rise, it becomes clear that the stakes are high, and the looming threat of murder is closer than Al ever imagined. Fortunately, in the treacherous game of life and death, Al has a secret weapon—a loyal dog named Hero. Dive into a tale of loyalty, love, and legacy where old wounds resurface, and the line between right and wrong blurs. Join Al as he grapples with ghosts from his past and fights for the future he's built in Seattle. This is the 17th gripping installment in the Northwest Cozy Mystery Series by a USA Today Bestselling Author.
