Résumé
"With three electrifying Tamara Hayle mysteries, Valerie Wilson Wesley has become one of the hottest names on the female crime-writing scene. Her previous novel Where Evil Sleeps, "captivates mystery lovers to the hilt" (Vibe). With No Hiding Place, Wesley not… only delivers another irresistible mystery, but tackles some of the more disturbing issues of our times. When Newark hoodlum Shawn Raymond is killed, his mother, Bessie, hard-earned money in hand, begs Tamara to look into the unsolved murder. According to Bessie, the cops just don't give a damn, but Tamara is enough of a realist to know the sad truth that gangsters usually end up getting what they deserve. She feels sorry for Bessie Raymond, but like the cops, it's hard for her not to think Good riddance, too. Yet she can also remember a time when Shawn Raymond was an innocent boy, loved and mentored by her dead brother, Johnny. She knows what the void left by Johnny's suicide may have contributed to the bad choices Shawn made. Tied to the Raymonds by grief and memory, Tamara finally agrees to take Shawn Raymond's case. But Tamara finds that the path to the killer leads not only through the city's mean streets and threatened middle class but into her personal life as well, in a terrible, shattering way. More blood will be spilled before Tamara learns her bitter lesson that when it comes to murder and the evil in people's hearts, there truly is no hiding place." -- Dust jacket
