The Last Place

A very special kind of twisted genius. SARAH HILARY

One of the best crime novelists writing today. TESS GERRITSEN

A TESS MONAGHAN MYSTERY

Reporter turned Private Investigator Tess Monaghan knows all about the darker side of human nature. But she never expected to be on the receiving end of a court sentence to attend six months counselling for Anger Management.

Tess starts the counselling - but then her attention turns to a series of unsolved homicides. They appear to be overlooked cases of domestic violence. But the more Tess investigates, the more she is convinced that there is just one culprit.

The Maryland State Police are sure that the serial killer Tess is now looking for is dead. So he cant be a threat. Can he? But he is very much alive and has found another victim to stalk: Tess.

PRAISE FOR THE TESS MONAGHAN SERIES

Tess is a heroine with a nose for what she is not being told, and she is never content with half the story. These Baltimore novels are effective thrillers, because they are stories about wanting to know what happens next. Times Literary Supplement

Whip smart female protagonist, gritty Baltimore setting. Loved Tess! 5* reader review

Readers wont be able to resist Tess, who, like one of Baltimores famous crabs, sports a tough shell that hides a sweet centre. BOOKLIST

Digestible, fun, tense NPR

In this series, Lippman has developed sturdy tales, wry humour, and snappy dialogue wrapped around an insiders view of Baltimore. SUN-SENTINEL
