Sherer cuts to an immediate chase scene as Chicago series sleuth Emerson Ward (Death Came Dressed in White) tries to catch the man who just shot his long-time friend Brady, a successful commercial photographer. Brady has a little problem at work: someone has replaced a fortune in gemstones used for an advertising photo shoot with fakes. While Brady clings to life in the hospital, Emerson, looking for clues, hangs out at the photography studio and takes a part-time job at the financially troubled ad agency responsible for use of the gems. A slick narrative, quirky suspects, a fast-moving plot, and likable protagonist combine in this winner for series fans. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
