Pentecost and Parker, the most audacious and iconic detective duo
in 1940s Manhattan, are back. If you're a fan of Richard Osman, The
Marvellous Mrs Maisel, Agatha Christie and M. C. Beaton you'll love
this hugely entertaining murder mystery. Following on from Fortune
Favours the Dead and Murder Under Her Skin, the third Pentecost and
Parker mystery is 'even smarter, spikier and more surprising than
the first two' New York Times New York City, 1947. For years, Holly
Quick has written gruesome tales of revenge for pulp detective
magazines. Now someone is bringing her stories to life and leaving
a trail of blood behind. With the threat of another murder looming,
and reluctant to go to the police, Holly turns to the renowned
detective duo Willowjean "Will" Parker and her boss Lillian
Pentecost. Soon they are diving into an underground world of people
obsessed with murder. Can the killer be found in the Black Museum
Club, run by a philanthropist whose collection of grim murder
memorabilia may not be enough to satisfy him? Or is it Holly's pair
of editors aren't telling the full story? With victims seemingly
chosen at random and a murderer who thrives on spectacle, Pentecost
and Parker need to act fast. For Holly Quick has her own secret and
it's about to bring death to their door . . .
