“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.” 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. As readers and critics discovered in his first
novel, Calumet City, 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 is a
riveting read.
