Following the critically acclaimed and wildly popular A TICKET TO DIE FOR, Edgar-Award finalist David J. Walker returns with the second installment in his Wild Onion series and another chilling case for Kirsten and Dugan Nemo.
A Beer at a Bawdy House
By David J. Walker
David J. Walker's A BEER AT A BAWDY HOUSE is the latest adventure of Dugan and Kirsten Nemo, the husband-and-wife owners of Wild Onion, Ltd. detective agency. They are hired by Chicago Bishop Peter Keegan to look into disturbing messages he's received threatening to reveal a dark secret in his past. Kirsten and Dugan are quickly caught up in the whirlwind of danger surrounding the bishop and his estranged police chief brother, who may be more than a bystander in Peter's troubles.
Once again, Edgar Award-nominee Walker delivers a crafty tale of murder and intrigue in which even the innocent have secrets to hide and even the just can't be kept safe.
David J. Walker, a former priest, is the author of five books including the popular Mal Foley series. Currently a practicing lawyer, he lives in Chicago, Illinois.
Praise for A Ticket to Die For:
"The intensity of the scenes holds you inside the story all the way to the end." -Washington Post
"Crisp Dialogue, a fine comic edge, and a cast of sharply drawn supporting characters will have readers looking forward to the next in the series." -Publishers Weekly
"As richly plotted as Mal Foley's three other cases, but good for a lot more laughs - and a perfect introduction for the talented author." -Kirkus Reviews
