Who is Claire Gravesend? So wonders PI Lee Crowe when he finds her dead, in a fine cocktail dress, on top of a Rolls Royce, in the most dangerous neighborhood in San Francisco. Claire's mother, Olivia, is one of the richest people in California. She doesn't believe the coroner: her daughter did not kill herself. Olivia hires Crowe, who-having just foiled a federal case against a cartel kingpin-is eager for distraction. But the questions about the Gravesend family pile up fast. First, the autopsy reveals round scars running down Claire's spine, old marks Olivia won't explain. Then, Crowe visits Claire's Boston townhouse and has to fend off an armed intruder. Is it the Feds out for revenge? Or is this connected to the Gravesends? He leaves Boston afraid, but finds his way to Claire's secret San Francisco pied-à-terre. It's there that his questions come to a head. Sleeping in an upstairs bedroom, he finds Claire-her face, her hair, her scars-and as far as he can tell, she's alive. And Crowe's back at the start: Who is Claire Gravesen Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I enjoyed the story even though I had a bit of trouble accepting the main logic behind the crime. I didn't really think it was feasible. However, accepting that perhaps it was possible, I did enjoy the book, although it seemed like it left a bit on the table, perhaps for a followup. Nothing that detracts from the story too much, though. I would like to know more.
It's pretty hard to really discuss the story without giving away too much. If you live in the SF Bay Area, you would probably enjoy it more. There is a lot of area covered, and I kind of liked knowing where they were going. ( )
