the Girl in Green Raincoat

“Lippman is a writing powerhouse. ” —USA Today “I love her books.” —Harlan Coben New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman—winner of the Edgar® Award and every other major literary prize given for mystery and crime fiction—embroils Baltimore p.i. Tess Monaghan in the strange case of The Girl in the Green Raincoat. Originally serialized in the New York Times, The Girl in the Green Raincoat is now in book form for the very first time—a masterful thriller in the Alfred Hitchcock mode that places a very pregnant, homebound Tess in the center of a murderous puzzle that could cost her her life and the life of her unborn child.

Bed-ridden while in the last two months of her pregnancy, Tess Monaghan blissfully watches a little girl in a green raincoat play with her dog in the park across the street, until one day when she sees the dog running loose, and becomes obsessed with the idea that harm has befallen the dog's owner. By the author of I'd Know You Anywhere. Original. 50,000 first printing.
