Summary

The promise of old printer’s trays has her heart aflutter, but it nearly stops when she finds a body at the bottom of the elevator shaft.

When salvage expert and historian Paisley Sutton heard that a 19th century printing press was still in the old warehouse that was scheduled for demolition, she knew she had to get in there. But when her dreams of a salvage windfall lead her on the genealogical hunt for the owners of the press and their descendants, she uncovers a story that promises to stay with her far longer than the income from her salvage operations. 

When the story becomes public, will Paisley’s business be safe? Will she?

    A unique forensic psychiatrist must decipher clues left behind by assassins attacking D.C. in this psychological thriller from the author of Color Blind. A band of ruthless assassins converges on a bank in Washington, D.C. They slaughter everyone inside and escape without stealing a dime, leaving only a message for police warning that another attack is coming. The attackers are more than willing to communicate who they are and what they want. The problem is, they only do so through cryptic messages hidden in a labyrinth of classic literature references. With the clock ticking down the hours and minutes until another bloodbath, Dr. Jenna Ramey and the rest of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit have a challenge profiling not one or two, but a dozen individual killers. But even if she can save the day, two enemies from Ramey’s past are lurking in her blind spot, ready to take advantage of her current preoccupation…“Just the gift for connoisseurs of multiple murders who also want to plume themselves on their knowledge of literary classics.”—Kirkus Reviews“Absorbing…Adding spice is Jenna’s special gift, grapheme-color synesthesia, which allows her to use colors she associates with people and situations to help her determine the truth.”—Publishers Weekly

    Eddie Sabella is the city columnist at a New York tabloid, a thirty-seven-year-old hot shot who is a ferocious reporter and competitor and hard to beat on a story. And now he’s stumbled upon the biggest story of his career: a statue that’s been stolen. And it’s not just any statue: it’s one that seemingly wept real tears only the day before, an event that made headlines. Eddie’s pursuit of the story behind the theft brings him into contact with a colorful cast of characters, including a respected restaurateur with a secret past who had donated the statue to the church, a cantankerous old priest with a taste for fine wine and expensive cigars, a stylishly dressed bookie who has the best table in the best restaurants in town, a legendary hitman who uses countless different methods to kill his prey, and an aging, still-volatile Mafia soldier who operates a funeral home but dreams of owning a tiki bar. And then there is Phyllis, a raven-haired beauty who was Eddie’s first love and had disappeared without a trace fifteen years before. Phyllis makes a startling appearance as Eddie is dining at a popular restaurant, nailing him to his seat and disrupting his personal life while he hustles to solve the mystery of the stolen statue, a mystery with more twists and turns than he could ever have imagined.
