Book Description
Edgar Award-winner Laura Lippman is developing a
reputation as one of the most exciting new detective fiction
authors in years. Now she delivers her most suspenseful novel
yet, and places Baltimore's Tess Monaghan...In Big Trouble.
First as a reporter and then as a p.i., Tess Monaghan has
learned how to survive and thrive on the streets of
Baltimore. But a new case will force her to confront her own
past, and a man she loved and lost. It starts when she gets a
newspaper photograph of her old boyfriend with a tantalizing
shard of headline attached: In Big Trouble. The answers lie
far from Baltimore, deep in a world of good-time music,
old-fashioned ambition, and rich people's games. For Tess
must find out what happened to a man she thought she knew, to
a woman who may have changed him forever, and to the victims
of a killer who dances to a different--and deadly---drummer.
