Description
Private investigator Tess Monaghan takes on a dangerous assignment: investigate five unsolved homicides that appear to be cases of domestic violence and expose the failures that allowed them to go unpunished. As she digs into the victims’ lives and the city’s hidden connections, what begins as a focused inquiry grows increasingly volatile and personal. Set against vividly rendered Baltimore neighborhoods, the novel explores violence, justice, institutional neglect, and the resilience of those determined to uncover the truth. Sharp, atmospheric, and propelled by an out-of-control investigation, it showcases Laura Lippman’s talent for combining compelling mystery with richly drawn social observation.
