About the Book

Chicago private investigator Sam Kelson uncovers more than he bargained for when he investigates a series of suspicious deaths at the Clement Memorial Hospital.

"My friend, this place is killing people."


While in the hospital recuperating from a gunshot wound, Chicago PI Sam Kelson is approached by a nurse who's troubled by three recent deaths. No pattern, no connection - except that three patients died when they shouldn't have.

Initially skeptical, Kelson starts asking questions - and the more he uncovers, the clearer it becomes that something isn't right. What exactly has been going on at Clement Memorial Hospital? Has someone been killing patients? If so, why? As Kelson digs deeper, he comes to realize that someone is determined to prevent him finding out the truth. Whatever it takes.

His Franky Dast thriller, Monument Road, was nominated for the 2018 Shamus Best PI Novel award.

Review :
Outstanding . The whodunit plotline is enhanced by Wiley's superior gift at integrating humor, mostly deriving from Kelson's inability to keep himself from sharing blunt truths. The author's ingenuity shows no sign of diminishing. Fans of the TV series Monk will be enthralled The setup is red meat to crime-story lovers ... The case is resolved in a stunning climax that will leave readers paging back to take in those magical lines one more time Wiley's quirky lead, who's unable to keep his thoughts to himself, will appeal to fans of oddball sleuths like Jonathan Lethem's Lionel Essrog This darkly humorous PI novel offers nonstop, violent action, and is perfect for readers who enjoy Donald Westlake's quirky 'Dortmunder' characters Wiley keeps the twists coming Sam Kelson, the PI star of this thorny novel, takes the damaged-detective trope to a new level ... Sure to satisfy A violent mystery that introduces a singular character guided by his sometimes twisted thoughts. Readers of L L Bartlett's 'Jeff Resnick' mysteries may be intrigued Like your noir pitch-black? So does Wiley Noir fiction doesn't get much darker ... Wiley is extremely good at creating an atmosphere of menacing dread ... New shocks occur all the way to the last page
