Description

Format: Hardcover, 240pp. ISBN: 0345446828 Publisher: Ballantine Books, Inc. Pub. Date: May 2002 Edition Desc: 1ST "Every month for the last eighteen years, the payments for unit twenty-five at a storage facility in West Baltimore have arrived without fail. After the money orders mysteriously stop, a grisly surprise is found inside the abandoned space: the mummified remains of black socialite Adrienne Jackson. The victim's fiance was none other than one of Baltimore's most prominent politicians, who has since remarried a much younger woman. Adrienne's disappearance during an apparent robbery in 1984 shocked and saddened the people of Baltimore. Now her murder has reopened old wounds, and cast a shadow of suspicion on a pillar of the community." "Into this lurid state of affairs steps Baltimore Herald reporter Darryl Billups, who is set to marry his longtime, live-in girlfriend, Yolanda. Nervous about the upcoming wedding after fifteen years of bachelorhood, he welcomes any distraction and eagerly throws himself into the sordid case." Yet after receiving sensitive inside information from a contact in the police department, Darryl discovers there's much more to the story than meets the eye. Maneuvering through a world of lies and deception, privilege and power, Darryl uncovers secrets and bombshells that will lead him to an unlikely suspect - one who will shake the foundations of a proud city... and one that just may cost Darryl his life.
