About this listen

From acclaimed author Tracy Clark comes a page-turning mystery featuring hard-boiled Chicago detective Harriet Foster, who’s on the hunt for a serial killer with a deadly affinity for redheads.

When a young red-haired woman is found brutally murdered in downtown Chicago, one detail stands out: the red lipstick encircling her wrists and ankles.

Detective Harriet Foster is on the case, even though she’s still grieving the sudden death of her partner. As a Black woman in a male-dominated department, Foster anticipates a rocky road ahead acclimating to a new team—and building trust with her new partner isn’t coming easily.

After another victim turns up with the same lipstick markings, Foster suspects she’s looking for a serial killer. Through a tip from a psychiatrist, Foster learns about Bodie Morgan: a troubled man with a twisted past and a penchant for pretty young redheads with the bluest eyes. As Foster wades into Morgan’s sinister history, the killer continues their gruesome assault on Chicago’s streets.

In her desperate race to catch the murderer before they strike again, Foster will have to confront the darkest of secrets—including her own.

Critic reviews

“Narrator Chanté McCormick hits a home run in this police procedural.… McCormick has an array of voices she expertly uses to build suspense as Harriet and her partner track down the serial killer. McCormick delivers an entertaining performance filled with clues and red herrings.”AudioFile Magazine

“A Chicago cop still mourning her late partner transfers to a new precinct just in time to catch a truly creepy case. Solid…work from a writer who knows the dark side of the Windy City.”Kirkus Reviews

“[Det. Harriet] Foster’s dogged approach to catching killers will resonate with Michael Connelly fans. May the wait for the second Harriet Foster police procedural be brief.”Publishers Weekly

Not enough books with black women detectives. This is a really good one! Can’t wait to read the next in the series.

Great main character.

Had potential but poor writing caused me to drop it. The righteousness is hard to listen to.

I enjoyed the book immensely, however the narrator did not have enough tonal variety . Several characters sounded the same …

Edge of your seat !!!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Sad history behind the depravity. Will check out other titles in the Harriet Foster series.

Good mystery

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Narrator was good with Harriet’s voice but awful with everyone else. The author needs to hire more than one voice actor and especially for the male characters. She was so terrible with everyone else else’s voice.

This was nice.

Book club selection and it was quite the page turner! Would definitely recommend this one.
