Beschreibung

In this mystery filled with “lively and exciting doings,” a PI in 1940s San Francisco tries to determine whether a beautiful woman is being framed (The New York Times).  
 
Corpses have been turning up with yellow violets accompanying them, and the clue seems to point to a Spanish performer who is in town with her dachshund, Pancho. But private detective Pat Abbott suspects the plants were a plant—and now he’s juggling the murders with a missing person case that may involve a fascist conspiracy, even if means postponing his wedding, in this compelling crime novel in the acclaimed long-running series. 
 
Praise for the Pat and Jean Abbott Mysteries  
 
“Amusing and sophisticated.” —The Star (London)

The local polis superintendent is working to keep her people safe from an ever-present threat and knows the long night always spells trouble. Wary of strangers and afraid to step foot outside, the entire town hunkers down for dusk. The denizens have accepted the abductions and killings as a part of life, but Jamie and Thorsen refuse to kneel.
