For the first time together in one collection is a mix of brand new Tess Monaghan short mysteries as well as previously published, award-winning short stories.
Split into three partsâGirls Gone Wild (seven stories about girls behaving badly); Other Cities, Not My Own (four stories about places outside of Baltimore); My Baby Walks the Streets of Baltimore (four stories and a profile)âthe inimitable Tess Monaghan, along with some old friends and new faces, is back solving crime.
Since Laura Lippmanâs debut, she has been recognized as a distinctive voice in mystery fiction and named one of the âessentialâ crime writers of the last 100 years. Stephen King called her âspecial, even extraordinary,â and Gillian Flynn wrote, âShe is simply a brilliant novelist.â Her books have won most of the major awards in her field and been translated into more than twenty-five languages. She lives in Baltimore and New Orleans with her teenager.
