Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Five lives in the Baltimore area have been brutally destroyed over the past six years — five unsolved homicides, seemingly unconnected except for the suspicion that each death was the result of domestic violence. In hot legal water — and court-ordered therapy — Tess Monaghan accepts an assignment with a local nonprofit organization, agreeing to review police documents on each case for inconsistencies and investigative blunders. But curiosity is leading the disgraced P.I. off the paper trail as she follows scant leads and intuitions into the most remote corners of Maryland — where a psychopath can hide as easily in the fabric of a tiny fishing community as in the alleys and shadows of Charm City. Because a single common thread to five senseless murders is beginning to emerge with shocking clarity to tie the loose ends together into one bloody knot — and the link is Tess Monaghan herself. Review:"Lippman deftly juggles a sense of foreboding with quotidian details as she spins an engrossing tale, and she captures the essence of other Maryland venues as acutely as she does that of Baltimore. Tess is a standout among female protagonists in mysteries, and this is absolutely first-rate." Library Journal Review:"From this slim plot device stems a road-trip mystery, in which Tess travels across Maryland and discovers the cover-up of a grisly decapitation. A somewhat shaky plot, rescued by Edgar-winning Lippman's wit and intelligence." Booklist Review:"Laura Lippman in her series featuring Baltimore private investigator Tess Monaghan just keeps getting better and better." Houston Chronicle About the AuthorLaura Lippman was a Baltimore Sun reporter for twelve years. Her novels have been awarded every major prize in crime fiction. The first-ever recipient of the Mayor's Prize for Literary Excellence, she lives in Baltimore, Maryland. What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
