Description
In Baltimore, ambitious businessman Wink Wynkowski is determined to bring professional basketball back to the city—and he has public enthusiasm firmly on his side. When violence threatens his vision, private investigator Tess Monaghan is drawn into a case that reaches from the city’s business elite to its deeply rooted political and social divisions. Against a vivid urban backdrop, the novel explores ambition, corruption, loyalty, and Baltimore’s struggle to reinvent itself. Combining sharp characterizations with an atmospheric sense of place, it offers a compelling mystery from one of contemporary crime fiction’s distinctive voices.
