Omschrijving

San Francisco is in ruins — but can the worst disaster the city has ever known cover up a murder?

On a quiet morning in 1906, an earthquake of horrendous magnitude shakes one of California's most vibrant cities. Buildings crumble to the ground. Fires destroy everything from South of the Slot's dilapidated buildings to Nob Hill's ornate mansions, leveling nearly eighty percent of San Francisco.

Radical suffragist and progressive reformer Elsie Blessings calls her friends Adele Gossling and Nin Branch to the Presidio's refugee camp to help destitute women and children as San Francisco begins the slow process of rebuilding. Adele's brother, Jackson, and Sheriff Hatfield accompany them as volunteers to maintain law and order amidst the chaos of the ruined city.

As citizens come together to pick up the pieces of their lives among the rubble, somebody thinks it's just the right time for murder.

Can Adele and Nin help solve the crime of a dead woman with only a jade pendant, a fan, and a cryptic note to go by?

What reviewers are saying:

"It is a story that pulls you in!"

"This was a fast-paced mystery which I enjoyed very much."

"The characters are interesting and realistic, with integrity, the mystery is intriguing, and the societal and situational difficulties of the time are well portrayed."

Pick up your copy of this engaging whodoneit set amid one of California's most devastating natural disasters!

Includes an Author's Note with background on the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906!
