Yet one day, without warning, Natalie gathered up their children and vanished. The police can't do anything because all the evidence indicates she left willingly. So the successful Baltimore furrier turns to private investigator Tess Monaghan.</p> <p>Tess doesn't know quite what to make of her client, a wealthy Orthodox Jew who refuses to shake her hand and doles out vitally important information in grudging dribs and drabs. But the deeper she digs, the more Tess suspects that the motive behind Natalie's reckless flight lies somewhere in the gap between what Rubin will not say and what he refuses to believe. An intricate web of betrayal and vengeance is already beginning to unravel, as memory begets rage, and rage leads to desperation -- and murder. And suddenly the lives of three innocent children are dangling by the slenderest of threads.</p> 3316061 2004 By a Spider's Thread (Tess Monaghan, Book 8) total:330|5:38|4:144|3:124|2:20|1:4| 330 1182 454 38 4 0 false false Sat May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Thu Aug 06 08:09:58 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 06 10:57:04 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Oct 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 09:00:08 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 09:00:37 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Nov 23 07:05:06 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 23 07:10:52 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Jul 02 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 25 13:24:19 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 07 04:33:25 -0700 2008
