The son of Chicago's chief of detectives, whose twin sister is also on the force, Billy plays it by the book. Alongside Detective Kate Fenton, Billy's tempestuous, adrenaline-junkie partner, there's nothing he wouldn't sacrifice for his job. Enter Amy Lentini, a hard-charging assistant state's attorney hell-bent on making a name for herself-who suspects Billy isn't the cop he claims to be. They're about to be linked by more than their careers. A horrifying murder leads investigators to an unexpected address-an exclusive brothel that caters to Chicago's most powerful citizens. There's plenty of incriminating evidence on the scene-but what matters most is what's missing: the madam's black book. Now with shock waves rippling through the city's elite, everyone's desperate to find it. As everyone who's anyone in Chicago scrambles to get their hands on the elusive black book, no one's motives can be trusted. An ingenious, inventive thriller about power, corruption, and the power of secrets to scandalize a city-and possibly destroy a family-The Black Book is James Patterson at his page-turning best. 000842983 520__ $$aBeing a cop runs in Billy Harney's family. The son of Chicago's Chief of Detectives whose twin sister, Patty, also followed in their father's footsteps, there's nothing Billy won't give up for the job, including his life. Left for dead alongside his tempestuous former partner and a hard-charging assistant district attorney out for blood, Billy miraculously survives. But he remembers nothing about the events leading up to the shootout. Charged with double murder and desperate to clear his name, Billy retraces his steps to get to the bottom of what happened. When he discovers the existence of a little black book that everyone who's anyone in Chicago will stop at nothing to get their hands on, Billy suspects it contains the truth that will either set him free ... or confirm his worst fears. 000842983 650_0 $$aPolice$$xFamily relationships$$vFiction. 000842983 650_0 $$aAmnesiacs$$vFiction. 000842983 650_0 $$aPolice murders$$vFiction. 000842983 650_0 $$aMurder$$xInvestigation$$vFiction. 000842983 650_0 $$aElite (Social sciences)$$xCorrupt practices$$vFiction. 000842983 650_0 $$aBrothels$$vFiction. 000842983 651_0 $$aChicago (Ill.)$$vFiction. 000842983 655_7 $$aThrillers (Fiction)$$2lcgft 000842983 655_7 $$aDetective and mystery fiction.$$2lcgft 000842983 7001_ $$aEllis, David,$$d1967-$$eauthor. 000842983 85280 $$bpopam$$hPatterson 000842983 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:842983$$pGLOBAL_SET 000842983 980__ $$aBIB 000842983 980__ $$aBOOK
