About the Book

When a struggling author with a secret government past is hired by a wealthy philanthropist to investigate a cold murder case, he has no choice but to expose the dark and buried secrets of a powerful political family in Chicago. Sebastian Drake is a novelist working out of a dilapidated apartment in the city who's trying to come up with his next story idea. But he's stuck. Drake receives an unexpected visit from a man interested in hiring him for a project and who thinks he has just the solution to Drake's writing challenges. He also thinks that Drake's past and secret life with a shadow government organization is a valuable asset. His proposition to Drake is simple: become a hired agent to investigate a cold murder case involving one of Chicago's most powerful political families. The job comes with a decent paycheck, all the support he might need, and the types of real life experiences that can form the basis for great fiction stories. This is a story about a man with a new lease on life, who leads a dual existence. Behind his desk, he is an aspiring author. On the streets, he is a rogue undercover and unknown vigilante. His biggest challenge is keeping intact the fine line between reality and fiction.

Advance Reader Quotes: "A Fine Line is a suspenseful, in-your-face, mystery novel that will keep you guessing until the very end. It's not unlike a maze with unexpected twists and turns that will make a hell of a movie." Charles K. "A Fine Line is a wonderful noir feeling adventure from the venerable Dan Burns. Enough action and romance to keep all fans of murder mysteries turning pages long into the night." Lisa L. "Well thought out plot filled with vivid descriptions of Chicago architecture and political corruption." Roxe Anne P. "If you fancy a good mystery with lots of action, intrigue, a little romance, and a lot of character, A Fine Line may be just the right book for you. About a struggling novelist who overcomes writer's block when he accepts a perilous project that dredges up scandalous aspects of his former life, this story has all the elements of solid mystery writing: an engaging, unpredictable plot; interesting characters you will come to love or hate; and a writing style that makes it an enjoyable read." Florence O. "A Fine Line, by Dan Burns, is a well written mystery, one that captivated my attention, page by page. Once I started reading Chapter 1, I wanted to continue reading until I was finished. A good mystery, intriguing, easy to follow, descriptive scenery and characters." Opal F. "A Fine Line is a compelling read on many levels. How does a man so qualified for success manage to fail at the things that are personal and succeed beyond expectation on the things that are public? To read this book merely as a detective story is not to see that the underlying tension, the "Fine Line" is the key to Sebastian Drake's true nature. He lives for the tension in the taut moment of the reveal." Marssie M. "Dan Burns has crafted a fine novel that features Sebastian Drake, a writer at a low point in his life who finds inspiration through his efforts to solve a cold case mystery. At first bitter and irritable, he falls back on skills honed in a previous secret life to resolve the mystery. The story is fast-paced and creative, the mystery proceeds logically, with good action and realistic dialogue, and has a satisfactory conclusion. The reader comes to like the main character and will look forward to the next book." Patricia C. Dan Burns has given us a terrific murder mystery set in contemporary Chicago, complete with a scarred, complex hero and a plot that never stops twisting. Renee J. "A Fine Line is a fast paced mystery thriller. The main plot line is continually fed by many subplots making for an enjoyable read, culminating in a tense and thrilling conclusion. The main character Sebastien Drake is a writer with a mysterious past who is hired to solve a murder. However Drake is a dilemma for the reader: whether he should be liked as a hero as he pursues solving the murder mystery of a young woman. The ethos and pathos of a mystery novel is played well throughout the book as Drake confronts corrupt politicians and police." Ed M.
