What to expect
It's a cold Sunday in San Francisco. Sharon McCone's alone on a routine surveillance job, following a man named Frank Wilkonson through the city's lush horticultural hot spots to the sere foothills of the Diablos. But when she returns to find her kindly, old client in a pool of blood, nothing she's learned explains it. The search of answers takes her from Wilkonson's sullen brood on Burning Oak Ranch, to the eccentric havoc of a household in the Haight, to Golden Gate Park and the desperate digs of the homeless. Unraveling the threads that link a homeless man, a pair of prominent activists, a wayward rancher, and a mysterious missing beauty, Sharon is plunged into the depths of domestic mayhem … entering a realm where dreams shatter and marriage leads to bloody murder.
Critics Review
-
“Sharon McCone is a new breed of American woman detective.”
New York Times, praise for the series
-
“Send Marcia Muller into San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park on a wet and foggy night, and she’ll deliver plenty of atmosphere...Turn her loose on a tour of the city’s horticultural centers, or just get her going on the subject of domestic architecture—and she’s off on a roll...The plot moves slickly...Ms. Muller pulls together the skeins of her plot very neatly.”
New York Times Book Review
-
“Sharon McCone and her creator display a hard-nosed familiarity with multiple facets of country and city life, including the ways of the homeless, that just can’t be faked.”
Philadelphia Inquirer
-
“Marcia Muller has created a winning character in Sharon McCone…As before, Muller’s strength is in her characters—McCone is likable and believable—and her ability to convey places and atmosphere.”
Los Angeles Times
