Doug Cummings - "Sometimes secrets are the real crime!"

Chicago.

It's my kind of town.

There's nothing quite like it and no place comes close. To those of you who have never been there, it's impossible to explain. There's something about the lake, I think. Lake Michigan has some kind of mystical and magical impact on anyone who lives within 50 miles of Chicago, whether they want to admit it or not.

Doug Cummings http://www.dougmcummings.com used to thrill Chicago radio listeners with his dynamic and factual crime reporting at WMAQ and then WGN, chasing spectacular fires, shattering car crashes, and horrible murders. One day, Doug decided he would rather pursue his lifelong passion of writing and started turning out some of the most realistic mystery novels to come out of Chicago.

Doug's first novel, Deader by the Lake, (I love that title), which introduced his main character, Reno McCarthy, was an instant critical success, widely acclaimed by anyone who read it. Doug's next book, Every Secret Crime, has just been released to scores of expectant fans and mystery readers.

So, if you enjoy mysteries that are hard-hitting and wonderfully packed with caustic wit, or you love books set in the vibrant and unique city of Chicago, you've just got to read novels written by Doug Cummings. You will not only be on the edge of your seat, you'll swear you're driving down Lake Shore Drive at 2:00 in the morning in the rain. His books are that good.
