Description
Winner of the Shamus Award for Best PI Hardcover novel 2019
'This is the second novel to feature the private investigator Roxane Weary, who's a wonderful character. Lepionka is such an assured writer, with complete narrative authority from the first line.' Sophie Hannah
Shaken by the outcome of her last big case, PI Roxane Weary is keeping a low profile. When she takes on a new client who suspects his fiancee is cheating on him, Roxane is happy to have landed a run-of-the-mill surveillance job. Until, that is, Marin Strasser, the woman she's been tailing, turns up dead.
The police are convinced her client is the one who pulled the trigger. Certain - and scared - that things aren't so straightforward, Roxane starts to follow a paper trail that gets more dangerous the farther it goes.
So who really was Marin Strasser? Who could have wanted her dead? And how can Roxane stop her work from once again pushing away the few people she thinks she can trust?
'Roxane with one n' is back, in the thrilling follow-up to the hit-debut The Last Place You Look
