Annotation:
Described by one reader as "the WAR AND PEACE of detective novels," DEATH OF THE DETECTIVE was short-listed for a National Book Award in 1974. A vast sprawling tale of a serial killer loose in Chicago, the novel is filled with dozens of subplots and a menagerie of unforgettable and exquisitely described characters. In its evocation of Chicago's industrial tumult, Mark Smith's under-appreciated work belongs beside Saul Bellow's THE ADVENTURES OF AUGIE MARCH.
