| | Publisher's Note | In a steel-mill town on the verge of an economic comeback, two prominent men are found dead within days of each other. In each case, the known character of the man seems grossly more contradicted by the circumstances of his death. But, as assistant county prosecutor Stella Marz discovers, the victims and their deaths may be connected in ways that no one would ever suspect.
| | Industry reviews | "...[DARK LADY is] an engrossing portrait of the darkness lurking in an urban area in decline."
Salkind
"...Patterson is familiar with the civic shenanigans that can destroy a community, and he draws wisely on the history and geography of Cleveland to portray a city struggling to escape its bondage to organized crime, racial conflict and the entrenched corruption of its elected officials."
Stasio
"...[This is a] complex tale of personal, political and criminal betrayals....DARK LADY not only keeps you in suspense; it gives you plenty of social and moral questions to ponder."
