Windy City Sinners

By Melanie Villines

""Windy City Sinners" is a freewheeling, wry and whimsical novel about the deepest human feelings and questions." PATRICK T. REARDON (patricktreardon.com) Part crime caper a la Donald Westlake, part magic realism tale in the spirit of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, part John Kennedy Toolesque hijinks and high comedy, "Windy City Sinners" offers mystery and mayhem with fun and froth mixed in for good measure. The story takes place on the Far Northwest Side of Chicago, right on the edge of town where the cops and members of the Outfit live side-by-side in perfect disharmony. The unlikely partners in crime include a notorious hitman, a detective in league with a drug kingpin, a vengeful mailman, an embezzling bank clerk, a petty holdup man, a conniving cleaning lady, an embittered priest, and the ghost of composer Antonio Vivaldi.
