With all the dirty politics, crime, and corruption running through the streets like illegal hootch after a G-Man surprise party, 1930s Chicago already has a heap of worry on its big shoulders. But Mick Oberon knows for a fact it can get much, much worse...
And it's about to.
He should have seen it coming, what with the nasty streak of bad luck he's been carrying around lately. Especially since every grape on the vine has been telling Mick that someone—or something—has been asking about him around town. But what he never could have seen is the high-class dame with a job for him, a job he can't turn down: find Ramona Webb—the one woman he could never forget...and never forgive.
And he'll have to move fast. Because whatever play Ramona is making seems to revolve around a mummy that's the real McCoy—and who may just be behind Mick's recent bum breaks.
Now, Mick just hopes he can get it his magical mojo back before this case closes on his very own coffin...
