Framed for his wife's grisly demise, Westland is in a bind, and his last hope is Bill Crane, a booze-soaked detective who's as ruthless with a quip as he is when trawling the streets for Chicago's most brutal criminal element.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCrane's got just six days to suss out the real killer—he sets his sights on a cast of oddball characters, aided by a lime squeezer, a quart of whiskey, a monkey wrench, a taxicab, a stopwatch, and a deep sea diver... but in 1930s Chicago, everyone's got a secret, and the pressure is on for Crane to separate the dangerous from the truly homicidal before it's too late. Chicago crime beat journalist-turned-novelist Jonathan Latimer blends hardboiled detective fiction with a shot of screwball comedy in the fast-moving, realistic 1935 baffler Headed for a Hearse, an exciting combination of the macabre and the humorous.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncludes discussion guide questions for use in book clubs.","brand":"American Mystery Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48152043684095,"sku":"9781613162811","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781613162811_s600x595.jpg?v=1777475242","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781613162811","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
