The premise, in the publisher's words

Chicago, city of gangsters and guns, where lone detective Eliot mounts his crusade against the lawless mob. From the dingy dock throough the murky outskirts and into the sleazy city itself, then finally the illegal booze warehouse, Eliot sticks to a trail terrorised by mob hitmen, popping out of the sewers, hidden in the buildings or careering along in black Bugattis. Armed with machine gun, cache of grenades and customized chrevolet, now really is the change to put your bullets where your mouth is... or your mouth may rest forever.
