In Big Trouble

Join the world of "New York Times" bestselling author Laura Lippman's Tess Monaghan in the Shamus and Anthony Award-winning fourth book in the acclaimed series

"In Big Trouble"

Tess Monaghan has learned the hard way how to survive on the streets of Baltimore--first as a fearless investigative reporter and lately as a PI. But a new case is about to take her way out of her element.

What begins with a tantalizing shard of a newspaper headline--"In Big Trouble"--above a photograph of an old boyfriend will end far away in another world, where people dress and talk differently . . . and rich people's games can have lethal consequences. Here where the sun is merciless--and curiosity can kill faster than a rattler's bite--Tess is going to have to confront her past and, hopefully, live to tell about it. For the answers she seeks about a man she "thought" she knew may be somehow linked to a murderer who two-steps to a very deadly drummer.
