ⓘ About Jack Clark

Nick Acropolis is a private eye. Like many of his colleagues, he was once a real cop, a Chicago homicide detective. He was thrown off the force when he tried to cover for his partner’s–not-very-funny–practical joke. Now most of his business is helping other cops in trouble. His mission is to keep them on the police force, no matter how bad they might be. Nick see it as a bit of revenge to a police department who treated him unfairly. Now I don’t want to scare you away. The books are not about bad cops. Westerfield’s Chain, the first book in the series, is mostly about welfare fraud. Highway Side is about a long haul trucker caught smuggling drugs. Dancing on Graves is about a case where Nick, as a homicide detective, sent a man to prison for a brutal murder.
