Description
Newly established as a private investigator in Baltimore’s Butchers Hill, Tess Monaghan takes on an unsettling case from Luther Beale, a notorious vigilante seeking to make amends for a crime that sent him to prison. Her search for the young witnesses to his past violence soon turns deadly, raising the possibility that someone is determined to silence them—and that Beale’s reputation may not tell the whole story. As Tess follows a trail of corruption, buried grievances, and missing money, she confronts a system that has failed vulnerable children and protected those in power. Set against Baltimore’s vividly drawn neighborhoods, this atmospheric mystery combines sharp social insight, complex moral questions, and a determined heroine with a wry eye for the city around her.
