A body on the steps. A neighborhood that saw nothing.
Vivian Salvatore came back to Telegraph Hill with a cat, a divorce, and a book she can't seem to write. At fifty-two, she's learning how to begin again.
Then she finds one of the city's most ambitious developers dead on the third landing.
The police call it a fall. But after twenty-seven years of reading teenagers' faces, Vivian knows when a story doesn't fit. A wrongly buttoned coat. A misplaced cigarette. Storefronts quietly sold to a Delaware post-office box.
Her questions uncover secrets about money, loyalty, grief, and who really gets to call a place home.
A warm, atmospheric San Francisco mystery with a sharp-eyed midlife sleuth and a neighborhood worth coming back to.
Perfect for fans of:
- Intelligent cozy mysteries
- Amateur sleuths
- Strong older female protagonists
- Found family and neighborhood stories
- Atmospheric mysteries set in real places
