  Oxford private detective Zoë Boehm turns up dead in Newcastle, launching her friend Sarah Tucker into an investigation with several leads—but no one she can trust. 
    
  When a body is hauled from the River Tyne, Sarah Tucker heads to Newcastle for a closer look. She identifies the dead woman as private detective Zoë Boehm, but putting a name to the corpse only raises further questions. Did Zoë kill herself, or did one of her old cases come back to haunt her? Why was she wearing the jacket a murderer had stolen years before? And what’s brought Sarah’s former sparring partner Gerard Inchon to the same broken-down hotel she’s staying at? Coincidence is an excuse that soon appears pretty unconvincing. Sarah can’t leave until she’s found the answers to her questions, however dangerous they might turn out to be. 
    
  “In this assured mystery from British author Herron … does a nice job of planting red herrings and making [Sarah Tucker's] amateur sleuthing plausible.”—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

  I'll see you in Chicago. 
   
   
   
  Those words echoed in Marisol Soltero's mind as she sprinted across Bogota. Back in Chicago, she waited outside Governor Sabrina Sloane's luxury condo, needing to see the woman she loved return to safety. But Sabrina didn't return. Not to Chicago and not to Marisol. 
   
   
   
  That was six months ago. Now a series of disappearances in Humboldt Park provide the distraction Marisol needs. Her people are going missing. Snatched off the street right under her nose. Clues are sparse, but Marisol's gut tells her the culprit is her old enemy. 
   
   
   
  Governor Sabrina Sloane has become a shadow of herself. She haunts the halls of the Governor's Mansion, both her work and personal life flooded with nightmares. She knows Marisol is in danger, perhaps even more now that she's back in Chicago, and Sloane will do anything it takes to keep the woman she loves safe. Even if it means confronting the man at the center of her nightmares. 
   
   
   
  But when two chess pieces are directed at the same enemy, they can get in each other's way. If Marisol and Sabrina get the moves right, they could tango back into each other's arms. If not, all of Chicago could pay the price.
