Description
"If this is Tucker's first novel, I can't wait for what's coming next." —Michael Connelly
The electrifying first novel in a new crime series from a veteran Washington, D.C., reporter
When the teenage daughter of a powerful Washington, D.C. judge is
found dead, three local black kids are arrested for her murder—but
reporter Sully Carter suspects there’s more to the case. From the city’s
grittiest backstreets to the elegant halls of power, wry yet wounded
Sully pursues a string of cold cases, all the while fighting against
pressure from government officials, police, suspicious locals, and his
own bosses at the newspaper. Based on the real-life 1990s Princeton
Place murders, Neely Tucker’s debut novel is a pitch-perfect rendering
of a fast-paced newsroom and a layered, edge-of-your-seat mystery sure
to please fans of Elmore Leonard and George Pelecanos.
