The Case of the Chicago Family War

About the Book

When family loyalty is given a monetary value, does it become like any other commodity - subject to market pressures that can be manipulated by greed and vanity? Can a single act of family corruption continue to benefit the descendants of the perpetrators and to harm the victims? The detectives must do more than solve the riddle of the original act of disloyalty and corruption, they must act to rectify an old wrong.

About the Author

To the author, Anthony Wolff is more than a pseudonym. It’s a dedication to one of the finest men who ever graced the planet. Anthony Wolff, the author, who is paying tribute to Anthony Wolff, the great guy, is a fully ordained Zen Buddhist Priest. The reader may question Wolff’s literary credentials. It’s a free country, or at least used to be. Wolff’s clerical credentials, however, are pretty impressive even to the most jaded among us. Wolff was the first American to be ordained in The People’s Republic of China since the Communist Revolution. No small potatoes. The ordination took place in the hallowed precincts of Nan Hua Si, the monastery founded by 6th Patriarch Hui Neng in AD 675. The reader may be assured that the wisdom that drips from every cracked line is good Zen stuff. Wolff knows the detectives who have solved these cases. They aren’t perfect people, but since there are no perfect people on the planet, that is hardly news. Their actions are more eloquent than anything Wolff is capable of writing.
