About this ebook
Even a midlife crisis doesn't stop PI Sharon McCone from getting involved in the case of the 'Diplo Bomber', a terrorist who has maimed or killed half a dozen foreign diplomats. San Francisco homicide cop Adah Joslyn enlists McCone's help when the bomber warns that his next target will be the San Francisco-based consulate of Azad, an oil-rich Arab emirate. But it's not until McCone meets the engaging nine-year-old granddaughter of the Azad consul that she gets hooked. The case is as puzzling and frustrating as any she's worked on, taking her from San Francisco's seamy underworld to the sparkling beauty of a remote Caribbean island. And just when McCone thinks she's finally figured out who the bomber is, even she's surprised by one final, macabre twist.
About the author
Marcia Muller grew up in the Detroit area and went to the University of Michigan, where she turned from creative writing to journalism. After she moved to California, Muller wrote Edwin Of The Iron Shoes, the first novel featuring San Francisco private investigator Sharon McCone, which was published in 1977. Since then Muller has authored dozens of novels, short story collections, and non-fiction articles, several in collaboration with husband Bill Pronzini. In 2005 Muller was named a Grand Master by Mystery Writers of America, the organisation's highest award. Pronzini was named Grand Master in 2008, making them the only living couple to share the award (the other being Margaret Millar and Ross Macdonald). The Mulzinis, as friends call them, live in Sonoma County, California, in a house full of books.
