Noir mystery set in modern day Chicago which revolves around how the great Chicago fire started, who benefited and why someone want to keep the details from coming to light.

(3 1/2 stars) - Liked the noir atmosphere and the details about Chicago (reminded me of Sara Paretsky's Warshawski series in that respect). Could have done more with the 1871 Chicago fire history, and with developing the character of Michael Kelly.
