WINNER OF THE 2018 SILVER FALCHION AWARD FOR BEST SUSPENSE!
A Saturday of ballistic therapy at the Fawcettville gun range turns bloody for PI Niccolo 'Fitz' Fitzhugh when local social worker and community theater star Anna Maria Ippolito is found murdered in her home. It's personal too-he's been casually dating Anna Maria following his disastrous break up with prosecutor Alicia Linnerman.
The discovery of a strange coded journal at Anna Maria's home makes Fitz and Anna Maria's sister Carlotta wonder if she's living some sort of double life, one Carlotta wants to know about before the police get wind of it.
A box of clothing and other strange items raises more concern, even as the mayor's wife wants Fitz to investigate her husband's suspected infidelity.
When Fitz cracks the journal's code, the two cases converge in a way no one could in this Rust Belt Ohio town could imagine.
This is the fourth in the Niccolo Fitzhugh detective series.
