Summary
From acclaimed author Tracy Clark comes a page-turning mystery featuring hard-boiled Chicago detective Harriet Foster， who’s on the hunt for a serial killer with a deadly affinity for redheads。
When a young red-haired woman is found brutally murdered in downtown Chicago， one detail stands out: the red lipstick encircling her wrists and ankles。
Detective Harriet Foster is on the case， even though she’s still grieving the sudden death of her partner。 As a Black woman in a male-dominated department， Foster anticipates a rocky road ahead acclimating to a new team—and building trust with her new partner isn’t coming easily。
After another victim turns up with the same lipstick markings， Foster suspects she’s looking for a serial killer。 Through a tip from a psychiatrist， Foster learns about Bodie Morgan: a troubled man with a twisted past and a penchant for pretty young redheads with the bluest eyes。 As Foster wades into Morgan’s sinister history， the killer continues their gruesome assault on Chicago’s streets。
In her desperate race to catch the murderer before they strike again， Foster will have to confront the darkest of secrets—including her own。

I’m finding this police procedural/psychological thriller well-written and absorbing with compelling characters driven by internal and external conflict。Homicide detective Harriet Foster has 17 years of experience as a Chicago cop。 African-American and divorced as the result of her son's murder， she’s also just lost her long-time partner on the force to a suicide she never saw coming。 Now， after extended leave， she’s back on the job at a new squad with a new partner， Jim Lonergan， who’s a real “ I’m finding this police procedural/psychological thriller well-written and absorbing with compelling characters driven by internal and external conflict。Homicide detective Harriet Foster has 17 years of experience as a Chicago cop。 African-American and divorced as the result of her son's murder， she’s also just lost her long-time partner on the force to a suicide she never saw coming。 Now， after extended leave， she’s back on the job at a new squad with a new partner， Jim Lonergan， who’s a real “dinosaur。” Before “Harri” has even had time to settle into her desk， she and Lonergan are sent to the scene of the grisly murder of Peggy Birch a blue-eyed， red-headed young woman。 A Black teen was found unconscious only yards away from the body with a spot of blood on his clothing。 Brash， bullying， opinionated， and rushing to judgment， Lonergan wants to arrest the teen immediately。 Foster， who by the middle of the morning has just about had it with her new partner's chauvinism， knows they need to wait and see what the evidence has to say。Meanwhile， adult twin brother and sister， Bodie and Amelia， wrestle with their upbringing by a father who had a penchant for murdering young， red-headed women with blue eyes。 They haven’t seen him for years， not since he dropped them off as freshmen at college， both of their tuitions completely paid。 But the years they spent under his roof， where they became aware of what he was doing， have left their mark。 Might one of them be involved in the murder？ Or their father， if he's even still alive？ Or how about one of Peggy’s friends from college？ Or an ex-boyfriend？ Or one of the people with whom she attended yesterday’s “defund the police” rally。It’s a murder mystery filled with suspects as well as many of the topical issues of today: racism， sexism， police power， women as police， stalking， and the psychology of alienated “outsiders，” to name just a few。 The prose and dialogue are first-rate。 Ms。 Clark writes about police procedure and culture as surefootedly as if she had been a Chicago detective。 It’s the first time I’ve read any of Ms。 Clarke's work。 Based on this outing， I’m positive it won’t be the last。 。。。more

A brilliant detective novel—I was hooked from the first page。 The story features Detective Harriet Foster， a woman with a complicated past， broken but still finding a way to move forward。 Her first day back to work after yet another personal tragedy—her first day in a new police office—and a woman is found murdered， in a gruesome manner， next to the river。The story was fast paced， full of twists and turns with vibrant characters and nail biting suspense。 I loved how the setting of Chicago was ev A brilliant detective novel—I was hooked from the first page。 The story features Detective Harriet Foster， a woman with a complicated past， broken but still finding a way to move forward。 Her first day back to work after yet another personal tragedy—her first day in a new police office—and a woman is found murdered， in a gruesome manner， next to the river。The story was fast paced， full of twists and turns with vibrant characters and nail biting suspense。 I loved how the setting of Chicago was evoked throughout the story and played an integral part of the solving of the case。This is the first Tracy Clark novel I have read， and now I definitely need to read more。 。。。more

I really enjoyed 'meeting' this new detective and her team; the mystery was interesting and told in a very taut， suspenseful way。 I've been to Chicago many times， so I was able to see many of the settings in my mind， which added to my enjoyment。 I'm looking forward to more Harriet Foster stories。 I really enjoyed 'meeting' this new detective and her team; the mystery was interesting and told in a very taut， suspenseful way。 I've been to Chicago many times， so I was able to see many of the settings in my mind， which added to my enjoyment。 I'm looking forward to more Harriet Foster stories。 。。。more
