In the third trimester of her pregnancy, Baltimore private
investigator Tess Monaghan is under doctor's orders to
remain immobile. Bored and restless, reduced to watching the
world go by outside her window, she takes small comfort in
the mundane events she observes . . . like the young woman
in a green raincoat who walks her dog at the same time every
day. Then one day the dog is running free and its owner is
nowhere to be seen. Certain that something is terribly
wrong, and incapable of leaving well enough alone, Tess is
determined to get to the bottom of the dog walker's abrupt
disappearance, even if she must do so from her own bedroom.
But her inquisitiveness is about to fling open a dangerous
Pandora's box of past crimes and troubling deaths . . . and
she's not only putting her own life in jeopardy but also her
unborn child's.
Previously serialized in the New York Times, and now
published in book form for the very first time, The Girl in
the Green Raincoat is a masterful Hitchcockian thriller from
one of the very best in the business: multiple award-winner
Laura Lippman.
