Description
Private investigator Tess Monaghan becomes entangled in the unsolved murder of a young federal prosecutor, a case that draws her into Baltimore’s dangerous underworld of secrets, corruption, and calculated deception. Meanwhile, a chance encounter at an inner-city soup kitchen introduces Ransome to the charismatic con man Lloyd Jupiter, setting in motion a chain of events with far-reaching consequences. As Tess pursues the truth and considers bringing a vulnerable young witness into the public eye, she finds herself—and her family—caught in the crosshairs of powerful federal agencies and ruthless adversaries. Blending sharp suspense, richly drawn characters, and moral questions about justice and good intentions, the novel delivers a gripping portrait of how easily a good deed can become a dangerous one.
