A Dangerous Lesson A Nick Forte Mystery

Chicago Private Investigator Nick Forte's official task is to find out what he can about Jennifer Vandenbusch's new suitor, who fails to measure up in the eyes of the family matriarch, Jennifer's grandmother. This seems par for the course for Forte, as his personal life has been leading him through a series of men who treat women badly, though none nearly as badly as the Thursday Night Slasher. Forte lives on the fringes of the investigation run by his old friend Sonny Ng until elements of Forte's case and life dovetail with the Slasher investigation, leading to Forte discovering more about the crimes-and himself-than he wanted to know.
