Somewhere in Chicago, a roomful of people has been taken hostage. The hostages will be killed one by one, the masked gunman says on-screen, unless the police will admit they faked the death of the legendary superhero called the Kingfisher and helped him to give up his defense of the city 30 years ago. Retired reporter Marcus Waters made his name as a journalist covering the enigmatic superhero’s five years of cleaning up Chicago’s streets. Then the Kingfisher died, Chicago resumed its violent turmoil, and Marcus slid back into obscurity. But did the Kingfisher really die?

I adore Chicago, and I love any crime story involving police & detective work. If you’re the same, this book is 100% for you. Even if that isn’t your cup of tea, this book cuts across multiple genres and has something for everyone. It is fast and suspenseful, just as it is magical and thought provoking—with a mysterious superhero that challenges readers to reflect on the roles superheroes play (or could play) in our society. This novel is a literary masterpiece— each line is perfectly crafted, and each character is so tangible that you will find yourself thinking about them long after the story has ended. The central role of setting and the diversity of characters are also noteworthy elements of this terrific read. I especially loved it as an audiobook bc the narrator does a superb job of bringing the diverse characters to life and emphasizing the carefully crafted lines. Highly recommend it!
