No Good Deeds – Laura Lippman

When Crow brings home a young hooligan tangentially related to the murder of an assistant US Attorney, he sets in motion a series of events that put Tess’s freedom, and his own life, at risk.  While the Feds go after Tess, Crow goes on the run, hoping to keep his new project alive.  Can the two of them manage to figure out what is going on before the net closes on them completely?

In No Good Deeds, the ninth entry in Laura Lippman’s Tess Monaghan series, the action focuses more on Crow, who has gone on the lam to try and make up for the sins of his ancestors.  With only three more entries to go in the series, we are heading towards the end and should wrap things up next year.
