Description
It begins with the kind of bizarre death that makes headlines—literally. A copy editor at the Cleveland Herald is found hanging above the grinding wheels of the newspaper assembly line, a wide strap wrapped around his throat. Forensic investigator Maggie Gardiner has her suspicions about this apparent suicide inside the tsunami of tensions that is the news industry today—and when the evidence suggests murder, Maggie has no choice but to place her trust in the one person she doesn’t trust at all . . .
Jack Renner is a killer with a conscience, a vigilante with his own code of honor. In the past, Jack has used his skills and connections as a homicide detective to take the law into his own hands, all in the name of justice. He has only one problem: Maggie knows his secret. She insists he enforce the law, not subvert it. But when more newspaper employees are slain, Jack may be the only person who can help Maggie unmask the killer-- even if Jack is still checking names off his own private murder list.

PRAISE FOR THAT DARKNESS
“The intriguing
forensic details help drive the plot to its satisfying conclusion.”
– Publishers
Weekly
“Don’t
expect your typical detective story…The surprise ending is sure to keep readers
coming back for more.”
– Booklist
“Black, a former
forensics investigator, skillfully portrays the stark realities of homicide
cases…A great choice for readers of psychological suspense, forensic
investigations, and mystery.”
– Library Journal
“Black is one of the best writers of the world of
forensics, and her latest introduces Maggie Gardiner, who works for the
Cleveland Police Department. Her relentless pursuit of answers in a dark world
of violence is both inspiring and riveting. Readers who enjoy insight into a
world from an expert in the field should look no further than Black. Although
Cornwell is better known, Black deserves more attention for her skillful
writing – and hopefully this will be her breakout book.”
– RT Book
Reviews, 4 Stars
“In bestseller Black’s solid sequel to 2016’s That Darkness…Black does a good job contrasting the complex characters of her two leads.” - Publishers Weekly
“The protagonists in this series are both hiding tremendous secrets while trying to solve murders at a dying Cleveland newspaper. The antagonism between the lead characters was previously revealed, but the tension has them trading lightly, because the stakes are extremely high.”– RT Book Reviews
