Black Widow's Ghost - Paperback

by J. K. Rennaker (Author)

Some secrets sleep beneath the city. Others wait to strike. Dwight Husselman is called on to investigate a body on Pier 14. The year is 1992, Chicago. In the rain-soaked underworld of Chicago's forgotten alleyways, Detective Dwight Husselman hunts truth like it's a sickness. Dwight must wrestle with the clues, fight demons from his past, and uncover one of the most sinister plots on the planet - an organization so pervasive that it can only operate in secret. What begins as a case quickly becomes a reckoning. Enter Casandra Davis, a trans performer whose past is layered in illusion and whose truth Dwight thought he buried years ago. She is hiding a deadly secret.

The Lido is a decadent rave club full of secrets and dangerous beauty. Dwight knows the deeper he digs, the more the lines blur between justice and obsession, predator and prey, memory and madness.

Black Widow's Ghost is a hypnotic thriller that pulls you under with lyrical grit and refuses to let go. Every truth has its underside, and some are meant to stay buried.
