The Michael Kelly Series - Book 5
The Governor’s Wife
“Harvey is one of the best regionalists in the game, and the great city of Chicago is his beat. His street-smart but eminently civilized private eye, Michael Kelly, is in fine form in The Governor’s Wife.”
New York Times Book Review
It’s been two years since disgraced Illinois governor Ray Perry disappeared from a federal courthouse in Chicago moments after being sentenced to thirty-eight years in prison on corruption charges. P.I. Michael Kelly is sitting in his office when he gets an anonymous email offering to pay him nearly a quarter million dollars if he will find Perry. Kelly’s investigation begins with the woman Ray Perry left behind—his wife, Marie. Marie tells Kelly she has no idea where her husband is. Like everyone else, Kelly doesn’t believe her. As he hunts for her husband, Kelly begins to unwind Marie Perry’s past. Everyone in Chicago has secrets, including the governor’s wife. And some of them could get Michael Kelly killed.
