Inspector Vincent Gratelli hunts a serial killer through San Francisco in this “dark, twisty little gem” from the author of the Deets Shanahan mysteries (Kirkus Reviews). The Bay Strangler is at large in San Francisco. One after another, the lifeless bodies of young women are found beaten, sexually assaulted, and adorned with an intimate tattoo. Homicide Inspector Vincent Gratelli, and his partner, Inspector Mickey McClellan, are charged with finding the killer—a highly intelligent individual who appears to be expert at leaving no trace behind. But the Strangler’s latest victim, PI Julia Bateman, clings to life in a coma. As the media swarms and the entire city braces itself for the next attack, Julia may provide the evidence Vincent and Mickey need to catch the killer—if she survives long enough to talk.
The Hanged Man
Croft looks for evidence to free a tarot reader accused of killing a satanist Strong cosmic energy and stunning scenery have long made Santa Fe a destination for New Age enthusiasts. At a gathering of New Mexico’s most renowned mystics, known satanist Quentin Bouvier flaunts a priceless tarot card; a few hours later, he is found hanged from a rafter, head bashed in, the card missing. Suspicion falls on Giacomo Bernardi, a tarot reader and owner of the scarf with which Bouvier was strung up. To crack the state’s airtight case, Bernardi’s lawyer hires Joshua Croft, a private investigator with no patience for the supernatural but a strong understanding of earthly vice. To prove Bernardi’s innocence, Croft reconstructs the events of that strange, deadly dinner party, interviewing all the participants and finding that even the spiritually minded are capable of murder.
