MAXWELL STREET BLUES
Book ID/图书代码： 00343014B76911
English Summary/英文概要： In the hardboiled wise-cracking tradition of Robert Crais’ Elvis Cole mysteries, Marc Krulewitch’s debut MAXWELL STREET BLUES takes readers to Chicago’s mean streets and into the fascinating world of PI Jules Landau.
Grabbing snapshots of cheating spouses and hunting down bail jumpers provides a good living for private eye Jules Landau–until his ex-con father shows up at his door with bad news: Bernie Landau reports Jules’s beloved “Uncle Snook” has taken five bullets in the head on Chicago’s Maxwell Street. While the newspapers dismiss the killing as another bean counter for the Mob caught skimming off the top, Jules isn’t buying it. Sure, Snooky’s accounting practice included shady characters, but the wise-guys loved him and not just for his money-laundering skills. Problem is, he left behind a book full of incriminating facts and figures. Despite the wiles of a tattooed seductress, Jules uncovers Snooky’s entanglements in a world of misguided hipsters, jaded journalists, crooked politicos and brutal cops. Those who stand to benefit from Snooky’s death reads like a Who’s Who of the Chicago power elite – clearly, someone will stop at nothing to keep their secrets.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一如罗伯特•克雷斯的“埃尔维斯•科尔”系列传奇作品历来老于世故、智言睿语的传统，马克•克鲁尔维茨的处女作小说作品《麦斯威尔街的忧伤》将带领读者们前往芝加哥市最主要的街道，进入朱尔斯•兰道的奇妙世界。
抓拍相互欺骗的外遇夫妻照片和追踪逃亡疑犯的工作一直都能够为私家侦探朱尔斯•兰道提供一份不错的生活---直到他有前科的父亲带着一则坏消息出现在了他家的门前：伯尼•兰道称朱尔斯最深爱的“斯努克叔叔”在芝加哥的麦斯威尔街上头部连中五弹。尽管报纸上随意找了一个抢劫的罪名简单带过这一谋杀案件，但朱尔斯却毫不相信。毋庸置疑，斯努基的财务也不乏暗箱操作，然而但凡是聪明人都很敬爱他和他的洗钱技能。问题是他留下了一本记载有满满客户和罪行的册子。朱尔斯不理会纹身风尘女子们的花招诡计，发现斯努基身陷一个满是误人耳目、令人厌倦的报道、骗子政客和残暴警察的世界。从斯努基的死亡中渔利的恰恰是芝加哥的权力精英阶层中的某名举足轻重人士---并且很显然的，他们将不惜一切的保守自己的秘密。（DC）
