Keeper of an Ordinary - Paperback

by Cort Fernald (Author)

Richard Rice, investigative reporter, is nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for his exposes on Russian Mafia prostitution and human trafficking in the Chicago area. Harassing phone calls, slashed tires and an attempted break-in at his house don't stop Rich's investigation. But when a sniper's bullet nearly kills him, police advise Rich to leave Chicago. He goes off-the-grid hiding out at The Ordinary, a bar in ethnically diverse South Omaha. The Russians look for Rich bent on silencing him forever. Rich thinks he has the protection of the FBI, but it may just be an ambitious young agent who sees a chance to advance his career by dangling Rich in front of the Russians. It all comes to a head in a terrifying gunfight, from which only one person emerges.
