Helpful Score: 2

A very surprisingly good first novel! And I'm absolutely positive that the author, Harry Dolan, is fond of pretzels. Convolutions wrap around motives like a ball of yarn. Each time the reader thinks 'Aha! I figured it out, another turn of the page unwraps another player with a twisted motive.

The man who calls himself David Loogan is leading a quiet, anonymous life in the college town of Ann Arbor, Michigan. But when he's hired as an editor at a mystery magazine, he's drawn into an affair with the sleek blond wife of the publisher, Tom Kristoll---a man who soon turns up dead

Elizabeth Waishkey is the most talented detective in the Ann Arbor Police Department, but even she doesn't know if David Loogan is a killer, or an ally who might help her discover the truth.

As more deaths start mounting up -- some of them echoing stories published in Gray Streets -- it's up to Elizabeth to solve both the murders and the mystery of Loogan himself
