(1) IN A STRANGE CITY by Laura Lippman
It is a Charm City tradition-an annual visit to the Baltimore gravesite of Edgar Allan Poe on the renowned author’s birthday by a mysterious cloaked figure bearing gifts of three roses and a half bottle of cognac. This year, private investigator Tess Monaghan is among the witnesses of the locally cherished rite. And on this frigid January night, she sees two caped visitors approaching Poe’s resting place. One leaves his tribute and escapes. The other dies there, felled by an assassin’s bullet. But someone wants Tess involved in the murder investigation in the worst way. An anonymous stranger who leaves roses and cognac and cryptic clues on her doorstep; someone who knows her habits, her haunts...and what she knows.
(2) BY A SPIDER'S THREAD by Laura Lippman
Mark Rubin claims he & his beautiful wife had a flawless, happy marriage. Yet one day, Natalie gathered up their children & vanished. The successful Baltimore furrier turns to private investigator Tess Monaghan. But the deeper she digs, the more Tess suspects that the motive behind Natalie's reckless flight lies somewhere in the gap between what Rubin will not say & what he refuses to believe.
(3) THE SUGAR HOUSE by Laura Lippman
The Sugar House-an abandoned factory that remains a stubborn & defiant legacy of the city’s past-until a client named Ruthie asks her to investigate a “Jane Doe” murder & its grim aftermath. Ruthie’s brother, Henry, confessed to killing a teenage runaway over a bottle of glue. Tess’s hunt for the truth turns deadly with the shocking discovery of the runaway’s true identity. Suddenly, a supposedly solved murder case is turning up newer, fresher corpses and newer, scarier versions of the Sugar House-places that look sweet & safe...but only from the outside.
