Italian cop Gianna Maglione and African-American reporter Mimi Ptterson are two fo the most disparate and intriguing investigators in all of mystery fiction. Penny Micelbury is one of our best writers. Between the three of them, we have a compelling, electric mystery that takes us into the heart, the secrets, and the deadly menace to an insular community – and does so with fire and compassion … her work is more relevant than ever. She is not to be missed. –Katherine V. Forrest, Award-winning author, The Kate Delafield Mysteries
