      Un serial killer e il suo imitatore sono coinvolti in un violento gioco del gatto e del topo. Quando la detective ispettore Anjelica Henley torna in servizio attivo con l'Unità Crimini Seriali, viene chiamata sulla scena di un crimine. Sono stati trovati pezzi di corpi smembrati di due vittime lungo il fiume. Il modus operandi presenta una sorprendente somiglianza con Peter Olivier, il noto Jigsaw Killer, che ha trascorso gli ultimi due anni in prigione. Quando scopre che qualcuno sta appropriandosi della sua firma macabra - l'arrangiamento degli arti delle vittime in forme di pezzi di puzzle - decide di prendere in mano la situazione. Con il numero dei cadaveri in aumento, la detective ispettore Anjelica Henley si trova di fronte a una nuova minaccia inimmaginabile. Riuscirà ad arrestare l'imitatore prima che Olivier trovi un modo per colpirlo per primo? O diventerà lei stessa la prossima vittima?

The precocious Ian is addicted to reading, but needs Lucy's help to smuggle books past his overbearing mother, who has enrolled Ian in weekly anti-gay classes. When Lucy finds Ian camped out in the library after hours with a backpack of provisions and an escape plan, she allows herself to be hijacked by him and the pair embark on a spontaneous road trip. But is it just Ian who is running away? And should Lucy really be trying to save a boy from his own parents?

    • Discover the first novel in New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman's outstanding Tess Monaghan series! When a former Baltimore reporter must solve the murder of a notorious attorney, she discovers Charm City is rife with dark, sordid, and dangerous secrets. In a city where someone is murdered almost every day, attorney Michael Abramowitz's death should be just another statistic. But the slain lawyer's notoriety—and his taste for illicit midday trysts—make the case front-page news in every local paper except the Star, which crashed and burned before Abramowitz did. A former Star reporter who knows every inch of this town—from historic Fort McHenry to the crumbling projects of Cherry Hill—now-unemployed journalist Tess Monaghan also knows the guy the cops like for the killing: cuckolded fiancé Darryl "Rock" Paxton. The time is ripe for a career move, so when rowing buddy Rock wants to hire her to do some unorthodox snooping to help clear his name, Tess agrees. But there are lethal secrets hiding in the Charm City shadows. And Tess's own name could end up on that ever-expanding list of Baltimore dead.
