In this latest installment of the Nero Award-winning Parker & Pentecost Mystery series, Lillian and Will pursue a serial killer whose gruesome acts mirror the fiction of pulp detective magazines. Set in New York City, 1947, Holly Quick, a writer known for her chilling tales of murder, finds herself in danger as someone begins to enact her stories, leaving a trail of blood. Faced with the threat of more killings and hesitant to involve the police, Holly seeks the expertise of Willowjean "Will" Parker and her boss, the renowned detective Lillian Pentecost. The duo is tasked with investigating three murders simultaneously while keeping the connections hidden from law enforcement and the press. Complicating matters, Will is already undercover as a secretary, trying to gather intel on an old rival, Dr. Olivia Waterhouse. Determined to contribute, Will immerses herself in a dark world obsessed with murder. As they delve deeper, they explore leads involving the enigmatic Black Museum Club and Holly's editors, who might not be revealing the whole truth. With victims seemingly selected at random and a killer thriving on spectacle, Lillian is forced to reevaluate her methods. Time is of the essence, as Holly harbors a secret that could bring danger directly to their door.
