What to expect
She hung beneath the bridge like a ghost from the past.
When dancer Marina Liang’s body is discovered suspended from the Market Street Bridge during Chattanooga’s Riverbend Festival, posed in silk ribbons, and illuminated by a hijacked drone.
Private investigator Harry Starke, called in as a consultant by Captain Kate Gazzara, realizes this is no ordinary murder. It’s a performance.
The staging mirrors a century-old photograph of Marina’s great-grandmother, a Chinese acrobat who died at the Tivoli Theatre in 1920. An accident, they said. But Marina had been investigating a pattern of “accidents” stretching back a hundred years—deaths that someone has been getting away with for generations.
Now the killer is tying up loose ends. Witnesses are dying. Names are appearing in a death journal. And Harry realizes he’s not hunting a murderer—he’s exposing a conspiracy that powerful people will kill to protect.
The body count is rising. The killer’s list isn’t finished. And the next name on it might be someone Harry is sworn to protect.
