Chicago Detective Jack Fallon In The Mystery Of The Egg Of Chaos
Bob Kelley takes us on a thrilling ride through the streets of Chicago with young detective Jack Fallon in this tightly knit and suspenseful mystery. I would highly recommend this great first offering by new author Bob Kelley to any who loves a gritty drama in the classic noir genre.
Chicago Detective Jack Fallon in the Mystery of the Exotic Escort Murders
What a great book. I love a good crime story, especially one that gives the reader a real feel for the city in which it is set…in this case, Chicago. The author has also done a great job introducing us to an exciting new protagonist, Jack Fallon. Hopefully, we see more Fallon novels soon, as he is just an easy guy to root for.
It’s also not difficult to envision this character coming to life on the big screen, as well…would love to see a Jack Fallon movie/series someday, as the city of Chicago would offer an abundance of storylines and serve as the perfect backdrop to showcase this exciting new character.
Highly recommend this new novel, and look forward to the next one!
