The 600 Pound Gorilla
(1987)(The second book in the Jimmy Flannery series)
A novel by Robert Campbell
***Edgar Award Winning Author*** --- Even from the outset it promised to be an extraordinary assignment for Jimmy Flannery -- Chicago tough-guy and precinct captain of the 27th ward. Freezing winter temperatures had overloaded the generator at Lincoln Zoo and now Baby --- the city's favorite gorilla --- needs a place to stay.
Flannery thinks he's found the perfect sanctuary, even though the Paradise Baths are better known as a social hot-spot for Chicago's gay community. But when two men are found beaten to death in the Paradise steam room, only Flannery believes that Baby is innocent. And soon he is forced to put his own life in danger to prove it . . .
