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?

'One of the finest writers in America.' MARK BILLINGHAM

PRAISE FOR THE TESS MONAGHAN SERIES

'Tess is a heroine with a nose for what she is not being told, and she is never content with half the story. These Baltimore novels are effective thrillers, because they are stories about wanting to know what happens next.' Times Literary Supplement

'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

'Tess, is a ballsy, free-spirited woman who thinks on her feet and has a commanding physical presence. . . Highly recommend' 5* reader review

'What fun! I discovered a new (to me) mystery series. Tess Monaghan is a terrific main character.' 5* reader review

'I really have fallen in love with Tess Monaghan. These mystery novels well deserve the awards Lippman has won.' 5* reader review
