Chicago, 1946. World War II may be over, but murder continues apace in the Windy City. This time, it hits close to home for Chicago Tribune police reporter Snap Malek. Someone has killed his cousins British war bride in the Bohemian neighborhood of Pilsen. As the prime suspect, the meek young man is jailed.
