The eagerly awaited second book in the Claire DeWitt mystery series, featuring βone of the genreβs most original characters in years . . . as if David Lynch directed a Raymond Chandler novel.β (CNN)
When Paul Casablancas, Claire DeWittβs musician ex-boyfriend, is found dead in his Mission District home, the police are convinced itβs a simple robbery. But Claire knows nothing is ever simple.
With the help of her new assistant, Claude, Claire follows the clues, finding hints to Paulβs fate in her other casesβespecially that of a missing girl in the gritty 1980s East Village and a modern-day miniature horse theft in Marin. As visions of the past reveal the secrets of the present, Claire begins to understand the words of the enigmatic French detective Jacques Silette: βThe detective wonβt know what he is capable of until he encounters a mystery that pierces his own heart.β And love, in all its forms, is the greatest mystery of allβat least to the worldβs greatest PI.
An addictive new adventure featuring an irresistible heroine.
