Description David Loogan is living a quiet, anonymous life in Ann Arbor, Michigan; he’s hoping to escape a violent past he would rather forget. But soon he befriends Tom Kristoll, the publisher of a mystery magazine, and one night Kristoll asks him for a favor -- he needs help burying a body. Two weeks later, Kristoll himself is dead, thrown from the window of his sixth-floor office. A police detective -- Elizabeth Waishkey -- is assigned to the case, but Loogan is leery of telling her what he knows. He begins his own search for Kristoll's killer. Before long, there are two more murders, and Loogan Elizabeth eventually unravels the events that led to Kristoll’s death and discovers the secret of Loogan’s past, but she’ll need his help to confront the killer. Publisher’s Weekly manuscript review When David Loogan accepts a position as an editor at mystery magazine Gray Streets, he expects the murders to stay on the page. But when editor-in-chief Tom Kristoll jumps from his sixth-floor office window, both Loogan and the police are convinced it was murder. Loogan also knows it’s connected to the body he helped Tom bury two weeks earlier. When more deaths pile up -- with eerie resemblances to published stories -- Loogan uses his editorial instincts to clear his name before his own past catches up with him. Every single person associated with Gray Streets has secrets. The real question is: who would kill to keep them buried? This wickedly smart mystery launches with a riveting hook and keeps the focus on the dangerously cunning intrigue rather than meticulous character development. A darkly fascinating protagonist, more twists than a corkscrew and sharp dialogue drive this well-paced mystery.
