Belongs to SeriesMark Manning Mysteries (Book 2)
Reporter Mark Manning searches for a killer and stumbles upon a stunning conspiracy Chicago Journal reporter Mark Manning has been called in to replace a colleague on a big story. Famed Swiss astrophysicist Pavo Zarnik has just stunned the science world with his announcement that he's discovered a tenth planet in our solar system. Manning is skeptical of Zarnik's claims and believes he's a fraud. His suspicions grow when his fellow reporter--award-winning journalist Clifford Nolan--turns up dead, his laptop missing. Now, Manning is covering two breaking stories and coping with the not-entirely-unwanted advances of twenty-something reporter David Bosch. In a committed relationship with architect Neil Waite, Manning is determined to resist temptation. But he soon has bigger things to worry about. On the edge of a far-reaching political conspiracy, Manning matches wits with a killer whose agenda is about to become chillingly clear. Eye Contact is the second book in Michael Craft's Mark Manning series, which also includes Flight Dreams and Body Language. No library descriptions found.

Mark Manning has to take over the work of a colleague about a scientist who claims to have found a tenth planet. Well, his colleague turns out to be dead and now Mark has to find out, who is responsible for his death. Next to parties, some dinners and expensive cars we learn more about Mark's private life (his fetish are trainers and other sport gear). Unfortunately it's to much decorum to keep the story thrilling. The reader has to wait until almost the end when the big showdown starts before the 4th of July. All of a sudden this book about the rich and the wealthy in Chicago (and their BMW's) turns out to be a page turner after all. Just a bit too late to award this detective more than three stars. Let's keep hoping that the other mysteries are much better. (
