I've read it. It's damned good! Probably the best thing
Browne ever did, and that's saying something. In an article I
wrote about cop novels set in Chicago, I called PORK CITY the
best Chicago-set cop novel ever.
It's based on a true story, the investigation into Chicago
TRIBUNE reporter Jake Lingle's murder, and the
cop-protagonist, DA's Investigator Pat Roche, was a real
person. Browne actually lived in Chicago around the time all
this was going one.
