What to expect
In a city where someone is murdered almost every day, attorney Michael Abramowitz’s death should be just another statistic. But the slain lawyer’s notoriety—and his taste for illicit midday trysts—make the case front-page news in every local paper except the Star, which crashed and burned before Abramowitz did. A former Star reporter who knows every inch of this town—from historic Fort McHenry to the crumbling projects of Cherry Hill—now-unemployed journalist Tess Monaghan also knows the guy the cops like for the killing: cuckolded fiance Darryl “Rock” Paxton. The time is ripe for a career move—anything to pay the rent—so when rowing buddy Rock wants to hire her to do some unorthodox snooping to help clear his name, Tess agrees. But there are lethal secrets hiding in the Charm City shadows, and Tess’ own name could end up on that ever-expanding list of Baltimore dead.
Critics Review
“Deborah Hazlett backs Lippman’s successnvocally. She shows Tess as resourceful, emotionally steady, feisty, and clearnthinking as the unemployed reporter investigates the murder of a controversialndefense lawyer. Other characters, as well as the portrayal of the city ofnBaltimore, enrich the plot and, in most cases, the audio version.”
“Laura Lippman deserves to be a big star.”
