Murder Book, Perry - B

                      Harry Duncan, a private investigator in Chicago, gets a call from the US Attorney, an old friend. The US Attorney asks him to undertake a reconnaissance of a county in southern Indiana where, she fears, organized crime is making a push. Harry is immediately thrown into the middle of multiple efforts to intimidate the locals with the goal of buying them out for pennies on the dollar. Harry creatively thwarts the bad guys and helps bring them to justice. None of the efforts the criminals are making make any sense because there is just not that much money to be made in Ash County. Eventually, it comes out that the area is rich in rare earth minerals and it's not just local criminals, but a big company in on the evildoing.
