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 Hill's 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 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 maintain law and order amidst the chaos of the ruined city.

As citizens come together to pick up the pieces of their 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'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 the experience of women struggling to carve out an identity for themselves during eras when their options were limited. Her 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 takes place in the early 20th century and features suffragist and epistolary expert Adele Gossling whose talent for solving crimes doesn't sit well with her small town's conventional ideas about women. The first book of the series reached #1 in its category on both Amazon and Apple and went into the Top 100 Kindle Free Books on Amazon. It continues to appear on the list of popular books in its category.

Tam is also working on a new series, the Grave Sisters Mysteries, about three sisters who own a funeral home and help the county D.A. solve crimes in a 1920s small California town.

In addition, Tam writes historical fiction about women breaking loose from the social and psychological expectations of their time. She has a 4-book series set in the 1890s, the Waxwood Series, and a post-World War II short story collection, Lessons From My Mother's Life.

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), concocting yummy plant-based dishes, and exploring her new riverside town.
