Tess Monaghan has finally made the move and hung out her shingle as a PI-for-hire, complete with an office in Butchers Hill. Maybe it's not the best address in Baltimore, but you gotta start somewhere, and Tess' greyhound Esskay has no trouble taking marathon naps anywhere there's a roof.
Then, in walks Luther Beale, the notorious vigilante who five years ago shot a boy for vandalizing his car. Just out of prison, he says he wants to make reparations to the kids who witnessed his crime, so he needs Tess to find them. But once she starts snooping, the witnesses start dying. Is the Butcher of Butchers Hill at it again?
Like it or not, Tess is embroiled in a case that encompasses the powers that-be, a heartless system that has destroyed the lives of children, and a nasty trail of money and lies leading all the way back to Butchers Hill.

Surprised that they mentioned (in a book from 1998) benches made to prevent the homeless from sleeping on them. I thought this was a fairly recent development. Sad. Remember the Red Skelton show. Freddie the Freeloader slept on park benches. Not the best place but preventing people from using them is truly deplorable.
I guessed part, but part surprised me; love that

Very great writing and surprising twists and turns, especially at the end when we find out what really happened. It was there all along, but not out in the open!
Another Amazing Tess Book!

What did you love best about Butchers Hill?
I loved the prickly and flawed clients, especially the woman. Meeting Tess's family and getting the sense of family, love, and community that supports here was the crux of this novel for me. and of course Esskay the dog.What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
the reader has Tess's age and basic character down. I would like more of the bal'more accent and local color to creep into the performance.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
