We All Fall Down by Michael Harvey

We All Fall Down is the latest installment in the series featuring ex-cop/current PI Michael Kelly and set in Chicago. This book has a little bit of everything--a mysterious virus that is killing citizens on the poor West side--that may have been intentionally launched. Political corruption. Gangs. The "outfit" (aka the mob). Even a little failed romance. It's quite the page turner and a reminder of how vulnerable we all are to microbes used as weapons.

It's a good story but I have to say, I liked the other books in this series better--The Third Rail, The Fifth Floor and The Chicago Way--because they're about more everyday crime and corruption in the Windy City. So, even though this wasn't my favorite, I do look forward to the next chapter in Michael Kelly's always interesting life.
