Tough, cynical, and clever, Nathan Heller has been called "the perfect private eye", the best investigator
 that Chicago (where 'lightning' means gunfire) has to offer. In this engaging collection of thirteen stories, 
Heller encounters gangsters and petty crooks, noble doctors and quacks, loving wives and wanton women, and 
even the occasional honest cop. All of the stories are based on real cases of the 1930s and '40s, meticulously
 researched by award-winning writer and Road to Perdition creator Max Allan Collins. Heller's adventures
 feature some of the biggest names in twentieth-century American crime history: Eliot Ness, Frank Nitti,
 Mickey Cohen, and Jack Ruby, just to name a few. Whether he is investigating a union shooting, going 
toe-to-toe with the female leader of a vicious hold-up crew, or playing a homeless man to pose as bait for
 an insurance racket, Heller's humorous, wryly cynical tone, and knack for keen social observation make
 for a cracking good read.
