Produktbeschreibung

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 Ill's most 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 her side at 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 help maintain law and order amidst the chaos of the ruined city.

While citizens come together to pick up the pieces of their homes and 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?

Autorenporträt

Writing has been Tam May's voice since the age of fourteen. She writes stories set in the past that feature sassy and sensitive women characters. Her fiction gives readers a sense of justice for women, both the living and the dead. Tam's stories are set mostly around the Bay Area because she adores sourdough bread, Ghirardelli chocolate, and San Francisco history.

Tam is the author of the Adele Gossling Mysteries which take place in the early 20th century and features suffragist and epistolary expert Adele Gossling whose talent for solving crimes doesn't sit well with the town's more conventional ideas about women's place.

Tam has also written historical fiction about women breaking loose from the social and psychological expectations of their era. She has a 4-book historical coming-of-age series set in the 1890s titled the Waxwood Series and a post-World War II short story collection available.

Although Tam left her heart in San Francisco, she lives in the Midwest because it's cheaper. When she's not writing, she's devouring everything classic (books, films, art, music) and concocting yummy vegan dishes.
