The Gift Horse's Mouth is the seventh in this series and Jimmy Flannery teaches us more about politics in a most painless manner as he again gets involved with dead bodies. In this case the investigation into the death of Florence "Goldie" Hanrahan--right-hand women to Boss Carrigan--strikes too close to home when Boss Carrigan asks Jimmy to take a look and report back to him. Was it death by misadventure or was it murder? Great characters as usual for Campbell's stories; little twists and turns and always, always Chicago politics as they were--at their worse and at their best--and always as interesting as the who-dun-it.
