Mystery Cozy
The national bestselling author of The Marsh Madness
takes rare book collector Jordan Bingham on a trip to
San Francisco—home to Dashiell Hammett’s hard-boiled
heroes—where nothing is as it seems. On a getaway to the City by the Bay, book collector
Jordan Bingham becomes entangled in a mystery with more
twists than Lombard Street... Jordan has been able to swing a romantic trip to San
Francisco with Officer Tyler “Smiley” Dekker on one
condition—she must return with a rare copy of Dashiell
Hammett’s Red Harvest for her irascible employer,
Vera Van Alst. For his own part, Smiley is full of
surprises. He’s a Dashiell devotee himself—excited to be in
the city of Hammett’s hard-boiled heroes like Sam Spade and
the Continental Op—and also announces he plans to visit his
previously unmentioned estranged grandmother, who lives in
an old Victorian in Pacific Heights. But the trip goes downhill fast when Jordan is pushed from a
cable car and barely escapes death. And when a dark sedan
tries to run the couple down, it’s clear someone’s after
them—but who? Just like in Hammett’s world, nothing is quite
what is seems... INCLUDES RECIPES
