New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman delivers another compelling and clever mystery starring PI Tess Monaghan, but this time the feisty investigator discovers she might’ve gotten herself into a dangerous situation for which there’s no way out.Reporter-turned-p.i. Tess Monaghan loves every inch of her native Baltimore—a quirky city where baseball reigns, and homicide seems to be the second most popular sport. Local boy made good “Wink” Wynkowski wants to change all of that by bringing pro-basketball back to town—a laudable mission that’s greeted with widespread cheers . . . and a muckraking front page exposé of Wink’s past in the Baltimore Beacon-Light.The “Blight’s” surprised editors are sure they killed the piece. Instead, the piece kills Wynkowski, who’s discovered asphyxiated in his garage with his car’s engine running. Now the paper wants former newshound Tess to track down the rogue employee whose prank may have taken a human life. But there’s more than cyber-crime involved here—and Tess is about to discover firsthand that trying to stay alive in Charm City can be murder.
