Killing Carbini: One Neighborhood. One Secret. One Deadly Plan.

By Rick Levine

Chicago, early 1990s - a city grappling with violence, corruption, and a rising body count, many of them children. The headlines call it random street crimes - just another day in the city. But what if it wasn't random at all?

When real estate broker Drake Richmond becomes the victim of a brutal carjacking, he stumbles into a mystery far more significant - and deadlier - than anything he could have imagined. Determined to survive, Drake enlists the help of a sharp, attractive Chicago Tribune reporter and a streetwise, unhoused friend. Together, they follow a trail of violence and secrets leading straight into the heart of Chicago's most notorious neighborhood - Cabrini Green.

KILLING CABRINI is a work of fiction laced with historical facts and stories about Chicago's neighborhoods, politicians, and the ruthless world of real estate development. It is a gripping thriller that explores how power, money, and violence intersect and what it really costs to uncover the truth.
