Beautiful, scarred from a war in which she had sought solace, ex-Marine Seraphy Pelligrini returns to Chicago to find a place to call home. Trained as an architect before a random shooting changed the course of her life, she's drawn to rehab an abandoned warehouse west of Western Avenue, unaware she's stepped into another war zone where the enemy plays a much deadlier game and the stakes have never been higher. With a body on her doorstep and too much loss in her past, Seraphy finds herself both suspect and victim as tensions escalate and the killer draws ever closer.Nothing is what it seems.

No one is safe as this edgy and original thriller hurtles us towards its explosive conclusion and Seraphy discovers that the past will always find you. Welcome to West of Western, the spectacular debut novel from Eileen Robertson Hamer.

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

Born on a military base in Utah and raised (mostly) on a farm in Illinois, I worked my way through job after job (waitress, office flunky, potter, house renovator, art history lecturer, real estate broker, landlady . . .), always in hope of finding the right career. What I was actually doing, of course, was stocking up experiences for the day I started writing Seraphy's Chicago Stories.

I bought Chicago Stories: West of Western because, well, I'm a Chicagoan and I haven't read many novels that take place in my city. Thinking that the cover was really good and the title cool, I opened the book and began reading and was astonished at the strong, remarkably original voice of the author which throughout the story did not wane. Not sure if the author has Italian roots, but she understands Chicago and its architecture and painting and Italian families and grief, and I love her line about the family's matriarch who had been enjoying "the brink of death" for a long time (my poor paraphrase, you'll have to read the book to get the full punch.) So I couldn't stop reading. It's a thriller and a mystery and a love story in its own right. The pace is fast, the characters full of flesh and blood and, I don't know, the book just spoke to me, especially Seraphy and her family, the friends she meets after she buys a building to rehab west of Western Avenue. Loved Richard and his lover, Emily and Black Jack. Some of the scenes and the dialogue were memorable, for instance, the dialogue between the main character and her mother. And I really liked the way the story began, almost as a prequel, such a great way to introduce the main character--pit her against everyone's real estate agent--and the end was a real surprise for me, didn't see it coming. But what's not to love about this book--cheaper than a latté, but delivers a much stronger punch. The sense of place was remarkable, the mood shifting from humorous to elegiac to tragic and the building Seraphy buys almost becomes another character. Sorry, can't think of anything bad to say about this book. I'm going to sit for a while in a quiet place and try to recover from the words and then buy Eileen Hamer's next one.

I grew up in Chicago in the 60s a couple of blocks from where the story takes place. I went to St. Mark's grammar school. Humboldt Park was my old stomping grounds. She has everything pretty much right. The story was well written and interesting. There is a gang problem in the neighborhood but there's a gang problem all over Chicago. I can recommend this book to anyone interested in a pretty factual Chicago based story filled with rich characters and true-to-life incidents.

This book is better than I expected from the blurb. I was worried this might be he-man action with stereo-typical characters. But in fact it's an exciting, fast moving story where the characters are well rounded and believable, except ofcourse one of the baddie gangbangers, but that's one character in a large cast. Seraphy Pelligrini (female, I wasn't sure from the publisher's blurb) also comes across as an intelligent woman, taking some risks because she has had training in dealing with war zones, with understandable worries and emotions. We meet several interesting potential love interests and Seraphy's family as well as the new neighbours, police men and gang members. One of the things that confused me in the blurb was the rather odd combination of jobs Seraphy has had but Aileen Hamer works a credible back story with Seraphy originally training as an architect but following the death of her fiancee she joines the marines to get away from all the memories. She was invalided out and now has returned to her original career.
This is a complete story but I'm just off to look for the next book as I want to know what happens next with several of the characters.

I enjoyed this book on so many levels. First, that Ms. Hamer resists the prevailing pressure for crime writers to slap a dead body in the first chapter or, even worse, to have the hero or heroine trip over a corpse on the first page, made me sigh with relief. Architect Seraphy Pelligrini, an ex-Marine and undercover Darkpool agent, injured in Iraq by an IED, finds the perfect building to set up her workshop and living quarters. Her real estate agent tries to dissuade her because the building, an abandoned mess but with "good bones," is also West of Western, an area rampant with competing gangs spewing violence on an almost daily basis. But Seraphy is a fearless protagonist, and she treads where others fear to go. She's not foolhardy in her bravery, but when needed, she holds her own with the worst of the criminals. The book is filled with a cast of interesting characters, all of whom Ms. Hamer takes the time to develop so that we learn to care about each one. I personally found one of the gang leaders fascinating, and I hope he's in the following books. A good character is a terrible thing to waste. But he's not the only one.

The story builds tension in a realistic manner--nothing forced, but you sense there's going to be an explosive conclusion, and Ms. Hamer doesn't disappoint. I highly recommend this book and look forward to the sequel.
