The Shadow of Fell's Point by itsmarygabrielle

Detective Sara Collins, a seasoned investigator with a reputation for solving cold cases, is assigned to a case that has haunted Baltimore for decades: the unsolved murder of a young woman named Lila Harper, whose body was found floating in the harbor in 1989. The case was sensationalized due to Lila's connections to a prominent political family, but it was quickly buried and forgotten. As Sara digs into the case, she uncovers a web of corruption involving the city's elite, who went to great lengths to cover up the truth. Lila was not just another victim; she had been working on a secret project involving the restoration of an old, abandoned tavern in Fell's Point, a building rumored to have ties to Baltimore's dark past. Sara's investigation takes her to Fell's Point, where she meets a variety of colorful characters, including a grizzled bartender who claims to have seen Lila on the night of her death, and an eccentric historian obsessed with the tavern's history. The more Sara learns about Lila, the more she realizes that the young woman was on the verge of exposing something explosive before she was killed.
