Until her paper, the BALTIMORE STAR, crashed and burned,
Tess Monaghan was a damn good reporter who knew her
hometown intimately—from historic Fort McHenry to the
crumbling projects of Cherry Hill. Now gainfully
unemployed at twenty-nine, she's willing to take any
freelance job to pay the rent—including a bit of
unorthodox snooping for her rowing buddy, Darryl "Rock"
Paxton.
In a city where someone is murdered almost everyday,
attorney Michael Abramowitz's death should be just another
statistic. But the slain lawyer's notoriety—and his
noontime trysts with Rock's fiancee—make the case front
page news...and points to Rock as the likely murderer. But
trying to prove her friend's innocence couls prove costly
to Tess—and add her name to that infamous ever-growing
list.
