The Million-Dollar Wound
In 1942, Chicago P.I. Nate Heller and his childhood pal, boxer Barney Ross, join the Marines and see bloody action together at Guadalcanal. Upon his return to gangland Chicago, the shell-shocked Heller - more dangerous than ever - is thrust into the midst of an inter-gang war to depose Capone's successor Frank Nitti, whose minions are infiltrating Hollywood movie unions.
In this crushing finale to rough-and-tumble Nate Heller's Frank Nitti trilogy, Max Allan Collins delves into the damaged psyche of war veterans as a full-on gangland war threatens to explode. As tempers in Hollywood flare-up, Heller attempts to solve a murder committed behind enemy lines, and deal with the drug addiction of his friend Barney. But not even the company of fan dancer Sally Rand can ease Heller's conscience as he is haunted by the events at Guadalcanal even as he's surrounded by the murder and mayhem of Nitti's final, violent days.
"A serious social chronicle of Chicago's turbulent history as the '30s and '40s gangland capital of America. It's also serious fun¿a terrific sense of vitality." -Marilyn Stasio, New York Times
