Michael Harvey, author of such mystery novels as The Third Rail and The Chicago Way, which feature cynical Chicago private eye Michael Kelly, spoke at the Tattered Cover Bookstore last night to promote his new novel, The Innocence Game. Harvey told many fascinating stories about his career as a lawyer, investigative journalist, and documentary filmmaker. He has achieved much of his success by exposing political corruption in Chicago. Now to me, that seems a lot like shooting fish in a barrel, but I digress. What I really want to know is why the Tattered Cover had a big city Chicago writer speak at their suburban Highlands Ranch location instead of at their Lower Downtown Denver Store? Perhaps they felt he would be more comfortable speaking just a few miles from where former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich is currently incarcerated. By the way, Michael, I hear he is doing just fine out here!
