The Geller series goes deeper and darker in Boston Cream. Jonah is in rough shape when the story opens and they only get rougher in Boston.

Jonah Geller's back and he's headed to Chicago Get ready for a whirlwind tour of high-rise construction, corruption and multiple murders. Investigator Jonah Geller, partner Jenn Raudsepp and former hit man Dante Ryan return in High Chicago, the sequel to Howard Shrier's acclaimed debut thriller Buffalo Jump. It starts on the fly and never lets up, taking you from the seedy side of Toronto to Chicago's glittering waterfront, where a tycoon rages over a stalled project -- an unfinished skyscraper that looms a thousand feet above the street like a beacon drawing Jonah to his doom. -
When hit man Dante Ryan is told to kill a five-year-old boy, he can't bring himself to do it. Not with a son that age. So he turns to private investigator Jonah Geller for help. Why Geller? He's not your typical private eye. He was never a cop and doesn't drink to excess. He's a secular Jew in Toronto whose mother wishes he was more like his older brother the lawyer. Maybe seeing someone nice. But Jonah has a tough side too. He wants to make the world a better place and doesn't mind raising a cloud of dust to do it. Ryan thinks he's the right man for the job in Buffalo Jump. Find out whether he's right -- and how these two get along on a wild ride over the river. -
Who would kill someone as sweet as Sammy Adler?
Jonah Geller knew Sammy at summer camp when they were twelve. He was an awkward kid Jonah tried to help on the softball field. He gave him the nickname Slammin' Sammy, which he went on to use as a feisty city columnist in Montreal. When Sammy is brutally murdered years later in what looks like a hate crime, and the investigation stalls, his dying grandfather begs Jonah to set things right. Montreal is only five hours away in Dante Ryan's new hemi-powered Charger, but Jonah and Ryan soon find it's a different world, with its own language and culture, tensions and conflicts, belligerent cops -- and a new set of rules waiting to be broken.
