A TESS MONAGHAN MYSTERY
In walks Luther Beale, the notorious vigilante who, five years ago, shot a boy for vandalising his car. Just out of prison, he wants to make reparations to the kids who witnessed his crime, and he needs PI Tess Monaghan to find them.
But once Tess starts snooping, the witnesses start dying. Is the 'Butcher of Butchers Hill' at it again?

'Whip smart female protagonist, gritty Baltimore setting. Loved Tess!' 5* reader review
'Readers won't be able to resist Tess, who, like one of Baltimore's famous crabs, sports a tough shell that hides a sweet centre.' BOOKLIST
'Digestible, fun, tense' NPR
'In this series, Lippman has developed sturdy tales, wry humour, and snappy dialogue wrapped around an insider's view of Baltimore.' SUN-SENTINEL
