"The simplest way I can express the Four Edges neighborhood of Chicago is find a amount of rebar, scratch a big cross into the concrete, placed your feet stable in the quadrant you prefer best, lean back, and start taking pictures." Official Bobby Vargas is hard-edged but idealistic, a Chicago cop who stands at the epicenter of the subterranean plot that will have horrific ramifications for both himself and the whole city. Twenty-five years earlier, a gruesome murder rocked the unforgiving roads of Four Edges. Now, suddenly, a dying Chicago newspaper is running a serial exposé on new evidence in that old case, intimidating to implicate Bobby and his aged sibling, Ruben - a furnished, high-ranking detective and cop- prince of the roads. The smear marketing campaign stirs up decades-old bad blood vessels, leading the Vargas brothers down an extremely twisted and terrifying avenue, where the sins of days gone by threaten to destroy what remains of the truth. As visitors and critics found out in his first novel, Calumet City, Charlie Newton's Chicago is a scenery as brutal and poignant as any in modern crime fiction - a multi-faceted, shockingly violent labyrinth of gangland politics, political backstabbing, commercial malfeasance, and, possibly, hope. Start Taking is a riveting read.
