Book description
Chicago cop-turned-PI Michael Kelly is racing to save his city from a
deadly new foe: a biological weapon unleashed underground.
When a light bulb falls in a subway tunnel, it releases a pathogen that
could kill millions. While the mayor postures, people begin to die,
especially on the city's grim west side. Hospitals become morgues. L
trains are converted into rolling hearses. Finally, the government acts,
sealing off entire sections of the city - but are they keeping people
out or in? Meanwhile, Michael Kelly's hunt for the people who poisoned
his city takes him into the tangled underworld of Chicago's west side
gangs and the even more frightening world of black biology - an elite
discipline emerging from the nation's premier labs, where scientists
play God and will stop at nothing to preserve their secrecy.
It's a brave new world... and the most audacious page-turner yet from an
emerging modern master.
Featuring plenty of next-generation technology, We All Fall Down
is stylish suspense from a major new voice. Murder, bare-knuckle
mayoral politics, and historical catastrophe - in short, the perfect
Chicago detective story Michael Harvey is the author of The Chicago
