The parking garage was called the Palace.
It was located between Clark and LaSalle in downtown Chicago.
At approximately 6:15 p.
on a busy week day evening, Joe Daniels, a prominent attorney, settled into his new BMW convertible, placed his foot on the brake, and pressed ignition.
A bomb exploded.
Daniel's car was destroyed but he survived.
In A Bomb in the Palace , Billy Dee Jackson and his ex-partner Detective Shepard received the call to investigate the blast.
They learned Daniels was not just an attorney, but had a side business of selling guns to the gangs.
The wholesaler of those weapons, Hugo, was also associated with a terrorist group whose viciousness in the name of the cause led to kidnapping and murder.
At the same time the fallout from a disintegrating marriage destroyed not only the Palace but a career.
