THE SUBPLOTS AT BEAUTIFUL SANTA LINDA LIBRARY ARE MUCH STRANGER THAN FICTION
Vanished books, family feuds, secret sex, a stabbing, and death by overdose are merely the beginning. Soon, there's murder as well. Powerful right-winger Perry Webb, the library's most formidable enemy, is brutally killed on library premises, and gentle librarian Mark Salinger, implicated by strong circumstantial evidence, is arrested.
The situation calls for desperate measures, and redheaded private investigator Alex Winter is the woman to take them.
Sustained by little more than wit, nerve, and a one-eyed cat, she's off and running, picking her way through a minefield of old California money, drug dealing, horticulture, blackmail, and bibliomania. Not even an unexpectedly warm romance can sway her from the chase in a rich and riotous mystery that sends Alex's heart and mind racing to find a killer before he can find her....
