The Governor's Wife: A novel

The Governor's Wife: A novel
- Mystery, Thriller
In the latest installment in Michael Harveyâ€™s beloved Michael Kelly series, Chicagoâ€™s favorite Ovid-reading, gun-toting private investigator takes on Illinoisâ€™s first family in a blistering thriller that charts the border where ambition ends and evil begins.

Itâ€™s been two years since disgraced Illinois governor Ray Perry disappeared from a federal courthouse in Chicago moments after being sentenced to thirty-seven years in prison on corruption charges. P.I. Michael Kelly is sitting in his office when he gets an anonymous e-mail offering to pay him nearly a quarter of a million dollars if he will find Perry, no questions asked. Kellyâ€™s investigation begins with the woman Ray Perry left behindâ€”his wife, Marie. Ostracized by her former friends and hounded by the feds, Marie tells Kelly she has no idea where her husband is. Like everyone else, Kelly doesnâ€™t believe her. As he hunts for her husband, Kelly begins to unwind Marie Perryâ€™s past. What he finds is a woman who turns out to be even more intriguing than her husband, with her own deeply complicatedÂ reasons for standing by him.Â Everyone in Chicago has secrets, including the governorâ€™s wife. Some of them she shared with her husband. Some of them she kept to herself. And some of them could get Michael Kelly killed.

The Governorâ€™s WifeÂ is a hard-eyed look at the intersection of the political and the personal, at the perils of trusting even those closest to us, and the collateral damage of our highest aspirations. Stylish, knock-out suspense from a modern master.
