Washington, DC's notorious detective, former drug-addled street denizen Dickie Cornish, faces off with bloodthirsty
cops and the justice department in the latest thrilling release by award-winning noir author Christopher
Chambers.
In StreetWhys, underground detective Dickie Cornish faces a vindictive murder rap from his past if he doesn't
agree to help prove that the fentanyl ravaging the streets of DC is bankrolled by shadowy donors of a certain
former president. Broke and desperate, Cornish soon finds himself on a collision course with shady public
defenders and corrupt police officers, forcing him to use his street connections to flip their plan. Or die.
Chambers's Dickie Cornish series has met with widespread critical acclaim. Publishers Weekly dubbed the
series debut, Scavenger, "[A] no-holds-barred crime novel...a 21st-century twist on traditional hardboiled noir."
The Strand Magazine selected Standalone, the second book in the series, as one of the "Top 25 Mystery
Novels of the Year," adding "It's apparent that the modern heir to Chandler, Woolrich, and Cain is Christopher
Chambers, enough said." And renowned crime author George Pelecanos raves that the series "really nails
Washington, DC in the current environment."
Chambers is an award winning author of mystery, noir, pulp, and graphic novels. He sits on the board of the
Bouchercon World Mystery Writers Convention and is a judge for Mystery Writers of America's Edgar Awards.
He lives in Washington, DC.
