Ronald Tierney Death in North Beach
October 29 Severn House Publishers 2010 1847511996 / 9781847511997 Paperback New Ships in 10-14 Day After Release date
Tierney, author of the fine Deets Shanahan series, introduces a pair of San Francisco PIs, Carly Paladino and Noah Lang, who are investigating the murder of Whitney Warfield, a celebrated Beat-generation novelist. Carly is initially approached by debonair William Blake, who claims he is a world-class gigolo as well as a longtime friend of Warfield. Not only was he with Warfield only hours before the man was murdered, but the two had a loud, heated argument in front of dozens of witnesses, which means the police will likely see Blake as a “person of interest.” But Blake wants to preempt their investigation and provides Carly with a list of alternative suspects. All of the people on the list, he claims, had good reason to hate Warfield because he was threatening to publish a book exposing their darkest secrets. As Carly and Noah investigate, they realize that solving the case will mean unraveling a Byzantine web of half-truths, long-forgotten indiscretions, and simmering jealousy. This is a witty, very engaging entry in what promises to be a thoroughly entertaining new series. 9781847511997 0.00
