Award-winning
investigative reporter Cheryl Reed proves equally talented in the world of
fiction with this, her first novel. In Poison Girls, it is 2008. Chicago’s Hyde Park Senator is running for
president, the city is vying to host the 2016 Summer Olympics, and “poison”—a
lethal form of heroin, has killed more than 250 people - including dozens of
suburban girls from prominent families.
Natalie Delaney,
a crime reporter at the Chicago Times, discovers that daughters of Democratic
powerhouses are the real targets of a serial killer who uses drugs instead of a
gun. Obsessed with finding who is behind
the killings, Delaney becomes entangled in an underworld where drugs, cops,
gangs, politics and privilege collide.
