“Tracy combines the best qualities of a fast-paced thriller with an intricately plotted police procedural in this intense sequel to Nothing Stays Buried.”
—Library Journal starred review, Pick of the Month
The Guilty Dead is the ninth installment in P J Tracy’s Twin Cities series starring Gino and Magozzi.
Gregory Norwood, wealthy businessman and close friend of Minnesota’s leading candidate for Governor, is found dead on the first anniversary of his son’s drug overdose. It seems clear to Detectives Gino and Magozzi that grief drove him to suicide. Until they realize that this left-handed man seems to have used his right hand to pull the trigger. And they find the second body.
As the seemingly open-and-shut case becomes a murder inquiry, the detectives begin to delve into the dark secrets of one of the city’s most powerful families. It seems the murders are not the first in the Norwoods’ tragic story – and they won’t be the last…
“Another carefully crafted and simply riveting mystery by a master of the genre.”
Midwest Book Review
The Monkeewrench crew is back and, as always, it’s cause for celebration! In this high-stakes thriller, Tracy demonstrates once again her masterful ability to juggle the dynamics of a tight, fast-paced plot, the riveting details of a fine police procedure, and the compelling emotional complexities of human relationships. There’s so much to savor in the writing itself, but I’m sure readers will consume this offering in one quick binge. The Guilty Dead is another winner in one of the most satisfying series on the market today.
William Kent Krueger, New York Times bestselling author
“I’ve long admired P.J. Tracy’s ability to spin a complex,compelling tale replete with chilling villains, amazing technology, and witty repartee from the Monkeewrench gang—her wildly unique ensemble cast, led by the indomitable Grace McBride. But The Guilty Dead is a cut above. The stakes are higher, and nothing is as it seems. This is Tracy at her gritty, elegant best. Do not miss it.”
