In ‘A Trace of Gold’ (formerly published as ‘Bright and Yellow, Hard and Cold’), forensic scientist Sean Mc Kinney embarks on a dangerous mission to catch a serial killer targeting associates of the Barker-Karpis gang from the 1930s. With his determination to exonerate an innocent man, Mc Kinney puts his own life in jeopardy and must navigate a corrupt system to bring the true killer to justice.
The novel takes readers on a journey through two eras of Chicago crime, from the gritty underworld of the 1930s gangsters and gun molls to modern-day Chicago. Blending crime fiction with historical fiction, ‘A Trace of Gold’ offers a vivid portrayal of the city’s criminal past and present, with a thrilling plot full of twists and turns. As the body count rises, Mc Kinney risks becoming the next victim in the killer’s deadly game.
