Summary
Summary
Private eye Sharon McCone receives an email asking for help from her emotionally disturbed half-brother, Darcy Blackhawk, but he fails to reply to her response. As Sharon digs deeper, she discovers that Darcy sent his message from an Internet cafe in San Francisco, a city he's never been to before. Sensing that Darcy is in terrible danger, McCone begins a search for him throughout the city. The investigation leads her to the body of a woman at the Palace of Fine Arts, where a witness told her Darcy was headed. As her search widens, Sharon uncovers a connection to an unsolved murder of a young woman who was heiress to a multimillion dollar banking fortune. Sharon must race to solve both murders and ensure her brother's safety, despite the imminent danger that lurks within her own family.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Ms. Muller’s plotting is masterful, with her
sure-footed, economical storytelling—even with the changes of narrator
from chapter to chapter—supporting the plot as it glides easily
along. And that takes some great writing.” —New York Journal of Books
“Alternating chapters narrated by different characters add to the
suspense of the intricate plot, which propels readers through a San
Francisco few tourists see—from Colma, the city’s necropolis, to the
exclusive mansions of Sea Cliff—and to a harrowing, haunting denouement.” —Publishers Weekly
“Recommended for fans of Muller, women detectives, and San Francisco culture.” —Library Journal
“As Sharon celebrates another birthday, devoted
readers will appreciate all the more both the groundbreaking nature of
this series (the first to star a female PI in hard-boiled fiction) and
the fact that, throughout her long run, Sharon has aged gracefully and
matured as a heroine and a woman.” —Booklist (starred review)
