Three Days In Chicagoland is a trilogy of novellas by R.J. Ellory, each set in Chicago and each following a different character over a three-day period. The Sister, The Killer, and The Cop provide contrasting perspectives on crime and its effects.
The novella format is unusual for Ellory, who typically writes longer novels. The compressed structure and Chicago setting distinguish these stories from his more sprawling Southern-set thrillers.
