Grendel: Distant Thunder

The Chicago police department has its own troubles, and fighting for jurisdiction over who has to take responsibility for the latest killings in the running gang battles takes a lot of energy and attention. New mayor Harold Washington can't get what he wants past his opponents on the city council, and everything from the top end of city hall to the lowliest street beat has ground to a blood-soaked halt.
 
The last thing you need is a high-profile serial case, especially not a copy-cat case, and most especially not one that stirs up the quiet Chicago mob along with the gangs. But what just landed on your desk in a dirty evidence bag is, indeed, the last thing you need.
