A wealthy family shrouded in scandal, a detective tasked with solving an impossible cold case, and a woman with a dark past collide in Hannah Morrissey's stunning Black Harbor mystery, The Widowmaker. Ever since business mogul Clive Reynolds disappeared twenty years ago, the name "Reynolds" has become synonymous with "murder" and "mystery." And now, lured by a cryptic note, down-on-her-luck photographer Morgan Mori returns home to Black Harbor and into the web of their family secrets and double lives. The same night she photographs the Reynolds holiday get-together, Morgan becomes witness to a homicide of a cop that triggers the discovery of a long-buried clue. This could finally be the thing to crack open the chilling cold case, and Investigator Ryan Hudson has a chance to prove himself as lead detective. If only he could stop letting his need to solve his partner's recent murder distract him. But as Morgan exposes her own dark demons, could her sordid history be the key to unlocking more than one mystery?

A police transcriber-turned-novelist returns to Black Harbor and uncovers a sinister plan years in the making in this scorching Black Harbor mystery by acclaimed author Hannah Morrissey. Black Harbor is a tinderbox. Temperature and violent crime have both risen to all-time highs, a new drug razes the city, and the scene to which Sergeant Nikolai Kole responds is anything but a rote homicide. In the back of a motorcycle club lies a body wrapped in garbage bags and doused in bleach. It isn't just any body. Tommy Greenlee, the ex-husband of Kole's former lover, Hazel, has been shot several times and left for dead. What's more, the killer left what appears to be their calling card. Elsewhere, Hazel is haunted by her memories of Black Harbor. She even swears she can hear the siren song of Forge Bridge, luring her back to Wisconsin's most crime-ridden city. Secretly, she's been waiting for a reason to return; she just needed an invitation. Now back in Kole's orbit, their love affair can hardly pick up where it left off. They both used each other to their own ends before...which begs the question: could they do it again? With the atmosphere growing more volatile by the second, Hazel and Kole call a truce, and as they work to solve this murder, not only will they unearth Black Harbor's deepest, darkest secret, they'll have to face their own, too.
