Start Shooting<\/a> A Novel
Written by<\/b> Charlie Newton<\/a><\/h3>\n

Hardcover<\/b>, 320 pages | Doubleday | Fiction – Thrillers | $25.95<\/b> | January 10, 2012 | 978-0-385-53469-7 (0-385-53469-8)<\/p>\n

“The best way I can describe the Four Corners neighbor­hood of Chicago is find a length of rebar, scratch a big cross into the concrete, set your feet solid in the quadrant you like best, lean back, and start shooting.” <\/p>\n

Officer Bobby Vargas is hard-edged but idealistic, a Chicago cop who stands at the epicenter of a subterranean plot that will have horrific ramifications for both himself and the entire city. Twenty-five years earlier, a gruesome murder rocked the unforgiving streets of Four Corners. Now, sud­denly, a dying Chicago paper is running a serial exposé on new evidence in that old case, threatening to implicate Bobby and his older brother, Ruben—a decorated, high-ranking detective and cop- prince of the streets. The smear campaign stirs up decades-old bad blood, leading the Vargas brothers down an increasingly twisted and terrifying path, where the sins of the past threaten to destroy what remains of the truth. <\/p>\n

As readers and critics discovered in his first novel, Calumet City<\/i>, Charlie Newton’s Chicago is a landscape as brutal and poignant as any in modern crime fiction—a multi-faceted, shockingly violent labyrinth of gangland politics, political backstabbing, corporate malfeasance, and, possi­bly, hope. Start Shooting<\/i> is a riveting read.<\/p>\n
