Summary
What initially appears to be a robbery gone wrong soon unravels into something far more sinister for Ben and Tommy to investigate in the Spring of 1985.
Description
Spring, 1985...
Just north of Parker City in the small town of Wakeville, a string of robberies have the residents of the quiet community on edge. Then, when two homes in one of Parker City's wealthiest neighborhoods are broken into on the same night, PCPD Detectives Ben Winters and Tommy Mason wonder if the crime wave has spilled into their jurisdiction. There's one chilling difference, though. This time, the intruders left a dead body behind in their wake.
As Ben and Tommy delve into the investigation, what initially appears to be a robbery gone wrong soon unravels into something far more sinister. Their pursuit of the truth leads them down a path, uncovering ties to a crime spree that shook Baltimore fifty years earlier. As past and present collide, the young detectives must race to find a killer driven by a motive buried deep in the past.
Critic Reviews
"Wow. The older the sin the longer the shadow. Don't miss this deft and gripping tale of 1920s Baltimore and Parker City today. Bootleggers, lowlifes, a nightclub singer and the cream of society. Are any of us really so different? You won't be able to put this book down." - Peter W. J. Hayes, author of the Silver Falchion-nominated Vic Lenoski Mysteries
