Solving murders isn'

t part of Devin Cleary'

s job description. As a security guard at Lincoln Court, a small boutique shopping mall in Urbana, Illinois, he has busted shoplifters, prevented the homeless from making the mall their home, and even rousted a few bathroom dope-smokers. When the mall becomes the site of multiple murders, Cleary is caught up in a web of intrigue that may involve a contractor'

s ambitions for redeveloping Lincoln Court into a megamall. He is positioned to sniff out clues that the police miss.

By the world'

s standards, Devin Cleary is a loser.

The only hope for Lincoln Court'

s survival lies with that contractor'

s plans, which the owners of the mall oppose, and on support for them, if elected, of a candidate for governor who sets up campaign headquarters there-

until those murders cast a pall over that hope.
