About this ebook

New York Times bestselling author

Dead men tell no tales—but their pasts can’t keep a secret—in this “suspenseful, fast-paced” Monkeewrench crime thriller (Catherine Coulter, author of the FBI Thrillers)

 
Gregory Norwood is Minnesota’s most beloved philanthropist, and the story of his son’s overdose was splashed across the front page of all the papers. When a photojournalist sets out to get a candid shot of the highly successful businessman on the one year anniversary of his son’s death, he’s shocked to find Norwood dead with a smoking gun in his hand. The city is devastated, and Minneapolis detectives Leo Magozzi and Gino Rolseth are called in to handle the delicate case. It should be open and shut, but something is not right. Norwood's death is no suicide.
 
With no suspects and an increasing tangle of digital evidence that confounds the Minneapolis Police Department’s most seasoned cops, Magozzi calls on Grace MacBride, Monkeewrench Software’s founder and chief computer genius and the soon to be mother of their child together. She and her motley crew of partners begin to unravel connections between Norwood’s death and an even larger plot. Norwood wasn’t the first, won’t be the last, and by the end, may be just one of many to die. The breakneck, high stakes race to find his killer and save the lives of hundreds make P. J. Tracy’s The Guilty Dead her most outstanding novel yet.

I am telling you right now ... if you have not read any of the Monkeewrench series, you need to go right his minute and start at the very beginning of this wonderful series. Monkeewrench is the name given to the software company founded by Grace MacBride and a team of members you will never forget. They are all geniuses when it comes to computers. How this group got together and forged a bond closer than any family is in the first books of the series. Homicide Detective Leo Magozzi and his partner Gino Rolseth are called to investigate the possible suicide of Gregory Norwood... a man who lost his own son to suicide a year earlier. Evidence points to this being a homicide ... not a suicide. Meanwhile, Grace and her team are asked by the FBI to help them locate a band of terrorists. What they find is a link to the murder inquiry into Norwood. How are they connected? It's even more puzzling when everything points to the case of a 14-year-old girl murdered years before. Norwood wasn’t the first, won’t be the last, and by the end, may be just one of many to die. This is, as all the books in this series, well-written, action-packed, moving at the rate of an express train. The characters are all unique and unforgettable. The ending is a nail-biter. Many thanks to the author / Crooked Lane Books / Netgalley for the advanced digital copy of this crime fiction. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

About the author

P. J. Tracy was the pseudonym of mother-daughter writing team P. J. and Traci Lambrecht. Traci spent most of her childhood riding and showing horses. She graduated with a Russian Studies major from St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, where she also studied voice. Her aspirations of becoming a spy were dashed when the Cold War ended, so she began writing to finance her annoying habits of travel and singing in rock bands. Much to her mother’s relief, she finally realized that the written word was her true calling. They had a long, prolific career together in multiple genres before P. J.’s passing in December 2016. Traci continues to write.
