Quint McCauley

review 1: This is another older mystery and it's a winner. The writing flows smoothly with natural dialogue and there were a few twists along the way. I love the protagonist - an ex-cop turned department store security head. He is funny and smart and very likeable. The only thing that's not appealing about the older mysteries I've been reading is that everybody smokes! Quite a contrast to current writers who seldom (but occasionally) have good guys who smoke. I'll be looking at the library for another one by Brod. Highly recommend.
review 2: This is the first novel (of five) for D.C. Brod's policeman-turned store detective-turned private investigator Quint McCauley. What sets this novel apart from the run of usual detective stories is the graceful quality of the pr... moreose, the tender building of character, and the gritty, compelling setting. I admit I'm prone to like Chicago stories, but more often find greater fault in the detail because I'm partial to and knowledgeable of the city. I admired and enjoyed the atmospheric detail in this novel, as well as the bubbling undercurrent of romance and sex, in a bloody yet realistic plot. Quint, in a cool manner, sets about looking into a threat that begets a murder that begets another murder and so on, in a way consisent with the genre but a notch above because of the treatment. The twists and turns are cleverly negotiated, compelling and, to the end, satisfying. less
