A Sleuth in Sausalito — Carol A. Sheldon

It's Sausalito in the sixties. Poets, painters and philosophers dot this artsy town, and a community of people living on derelict houseboats. The river rats (as they were sometimes called) vs. the hill people continue an ongoing battle. Filled with colorful characters like Sally Stanford and the artist Jean Varda, A SLEUTH IN SAUSALITO will keep you entertained. After ten years of not knowing what happened to her mother when she disappeared, Gwen Harris is notified that recently discovered remains might be those of her mother. Leaving the University of Michigan to find out what she can in Sausalito, where her mother disappeared, Gwen begins a long and arduous journey of discovering what happened, and who is responsible. Eager, but young and vulnerable her trust in several people is shattered by secrecy, betrayal and deception.
