The setting is Steelton, a struggling Midwestern town trying to save its decaying inner city by building a major league baseball stadium. Dark Lady introduces Assistant County Prosecutor Stella Marz, who has escaped her alcoholic father and working class background to become head of the Prosecutor's homicide unit. Her ambition is to become County Prosecutor. But this ambition, indeed her very survival, is threatened when her ex-lover Jack Kovak, a drug lawyer, is murdered, and Stella leads the investigation. There are more deaths and revelations about Jack Kovak's dealings with the city's crime lord, and a trail of wrong-doing, that implicates officers in law enforcement, possibly within her own office. As her inquiry draws her into a re-examination of her own complex past, her certainty that she is being watched and followed, leads her to fear for her own future.

Reviews for Dark Lady

Death has come to a struggling Midwestern city on the brink of an economic recovery. Two dead men are found within days of each other; one heads the company building - the city's hope for the future - a new baseball stadium - and the other is an attorney with criminal connections. Both deaths are horrific - but are they both homicide? Stella Marz, Assistant County Prosecutor, soon discovers that the deaths are connected in labyrinthine ways. As Stella descends deeper into a maze of corruption and murder, she finds herself investigating both the town's dark past along with disturbing issues in her own life. Patterson builds an intriguing, well-structured plot with a heroine of powerful appeal in Stella. (Kirkus UK)
