Chicago Rhapsody - Marge Hall - Bog

Set in the mid 70's, there are no cell phones, desktop or laptop computers, just a few mainframes that are just beginning to replace written records. Most of the story takes place in Chicago, and our hero is a Chicago boy of Polish descent. His name is Richard Dzik. To help you along, the name is not pronounced in English like it is spelled. The closest I can come to describing the pronunciation is to tell you to pronounce it "G", as the letter is pronounced, and "eek" as in seek. He's a private detective at the start of the story, but life throws him a few curves and he ends up in the middle of something he never expected. Dick's partner is a dog named Percy. As police dogs go, he is nothing like you would expect either. Together they make a daunting pair and manage to turn both sides of the law in Chicago against them. The street gangs want them dead and the cops won't protect them. Between Dick's smart mouth and Percy's personality, I hope this one makes you smile.
