Now, author Max Allan Collins (Road to Perdition) reissues the contemporary classic that introduces the wise-cracking Nathan Heller in all his guts and glory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Mayor Cermak's \"Hoodlum Squad\" brings Heller along on a raid with no instructions but to keep his mouth shut and his gun handy, he becomes an unwitting, unwilling part of a hit on Al Capone's successor, Frank Nitti. As a result, Heller quits the force to become a private eye; his first job - head off a nation-shaking political assassination in Miami Beach. With the Chicago World's Fair as a backdrop, Heller encounters a Ragtime array of crooks and clients, including Al Capone, George Raft, \"Dutch\" Reagan, and FDR himself.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eRich in riveting plot turns, including a heartbreaking romance, True Detective is one of the most highly entertaining and unlikely coming-of-age stories written. That's why mystery fans and critics alike rank the history thriller True Detective at the top of their lists - and why the book swept up a Shamus Award for the best novel from the Private Eye Writers of America.","brand":"Brilliance Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47114751901936,"sku":"2940169786736","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169786736_p0.jpg?v=1763694676","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169786736","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
