| Publisher's Note | |
| Brave, resourceful, adventurous Fremont (née Caroline) Jones is a woman ahead of her time. Hungry for independence, shes traded in her conventional life in Boston for a career as a "type-writer" in turn-of-the-century San Francisco. But Fremont soon discovers that her clients arent always what they appear to be, and that in doing her job she's transcribing her way into a wealth of mystery--and mortal danger....Dashing lawyer Justin Cameron well-nigh sweeps Fremont Jones off her feet--and into a situation ripe with perilous intrigue. A client meets an untimely death that Fremant suspects is linked to the paper she typed for him, of which she can recall but one small fragment. And her attempts to disentangle reality and imagination in the gothic tales penned by Edgar Allan Partridge--whose demeanor is one of terror under the barest restraint--send her up the rocky California coast on a mission of discovery from which she may not return....A riveting, atmospheric mix of intrigue and humor introduces a new investigator as cultivated as Sherlock Holmes and as spunky as Kinsey Millhone. Day reinvents history with a unique twist--while brilliantly recreating turn-of-the-century San Francisco, she also creates Fremont Jones as a feminist decades ahead of her time, an independent woman with appeal to readers of modern mysteries featuring Kinsey Millhone, Kat Colorado, and V.I. Warshawski. | |
| Industry reviews | |
| "A fine, buoyant literary style...a spirited, likable heroine." Quarles "One of the most refreshing heroines to appear in years...Day rates top marks for her crisp, witty dialogue;...cleverly conceived plot; and darkly menacing touches of the macabre." Quarles | |
