Synopsis

Eight colonists were killed at the original Battle of Lexington, but just before Thanksgiving, at the Pittsburgh Museum of American History, the lifesized diorama of that battle has nine bodies. The ninth is a murder victim, Thomas Bradshaw, a prominent Pittsburgh connoisseur, and Cynthia Jakubek will be drawn into one of the sideshows surrounding the investigation. Jakubek is a workingclass gal whos about to jump from Main Street to Wall Street on the strength of her Harvard Law School degreeand marry a budding novelist as wellwhen the big recession in the fall of 2008 puts her dream on hold. She finds herself working, temporarily she hopes, as a legal intern at a Pittsburgh law firm that does street law instead of suite law. The firm is representing Thomas Bradshaws daughter, who may be a material witness to the crimeor worse. As Jakubek follows the investigation, the trail takes her from a black church in Pittsburghs ghetto to the very luxury building in midtown Manhattan, where she dreams of working, and gives her a broken nose and a broken heart along the way. Before her Wall Street dream is again within her grasp, Jakubek will come to appreciate Robert F. Kennedys memorable advice: Forgive your enemiesbut remember their names. A Poisoned Pen Press Mystery
