Modern Living by William Milan is a gripping crime thriller that blends murder investigation, family tragedy, political corruption, and psychological suspense into a dark and emotionally charged story. When Nicole Rizza, a promising young medical student, suddenly disappears after meeting with a dangerous ex-boyfriend, veteran Chicago homicide detective Tom Rizza is pulled into a devastating case that quickly becomes deeply personal.
As Tom searches for answers across Chicago's suburbs, he uncovers a disturbing trail of obsession, violence, hidden influence, and powerful political connections surrounding Drew McAmmonds, the troubled son of a wealthy construction magnate. What begins as a missing person investigation soon escalates into a brutal murder case that forces Tom to confront corruption, grief, guilt, and the limits of justice itself.
