When New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippmanā€™s Tess Monaghan investigates five cold case murders, she doesnā€™t expect the investigation to become personalā€¦

Tess Monaghan agrees to look into a series of unsolved homicides that date back over the past six years despite the fact that the assignment originates from a troubling source: wealthy Baltimore benefactor Luisa Oā€™Neal, who was both instrumental in launching Tessā€™s present career and intimately connected with the murder of Tessā€™s former boyfriend.

Apart from the suspicion that each death was the result of domestic violence, nothing else seems to connect them. Five livesā€”four women, one manā€”ended in various ways. The only thing the five cases seem to have is that they are now ice cold. Tessā€™ search for the connecting threads takes her beyond the Charm City limits and into dangerously unfamiliar territory. With the help of a police officer obsessed with bringing a murderer down, she follows scant leads into the remotest corners of Maryland, where a psychopath can hide as easily in the fabric of a tiny, rough-hewn fishing community as in the alleys and shadows of bustling Baltimore.

As she strays far from everything thatā€™s familiar and safe in her life, Tess is suddenly cast into a terrifying cat-and-mouse game with an ingenious slayer who changes identities as often and effortlessly as clothing. But at last, a single link to the murders emerges. Unfortunately, it's Tess.
