Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman’s Tess Monaghan-first introduced in the vintage Baltimore Blues-must track down a missing wife and unravel the secrets in her marriage that led her to flee.

Therefore the effective Baltimore furrier transforms to Tess Monaghan, hoping she might help him discover his wife and three kids. Tess doesn’t quite know what about By a Spider’s Thread to make of Rubin, who doles out quite crucial information in grudging dribs and drabs. According to her client, he and his beautiful wife, Natalie, got a flawless, happy marriage. Yet one day, without any warning or description, Natalie gathered up their kids and vanished.

Tapping into a networking of fellow investigators spread across the country, Tess can be soon in a position to find the runaway wife and the kids who’ve been moving furtively from state to state, city to town. But the Rubins are not alone. A incomprehensible man is touring with them, a stranger described by witnesses as “good looking” and “charming” but usually unremarkable.

An intricate web of betrayal and vengeance is starting to unfold. Abruptly, much more than one man’s future happiness and stubborn pride are in peril. For the lives of three innocent children are dangling from the slenderest of threads.
